Engine schematics/shop manuaal

[coyote]

Is there such a thing as an online MB engine schematics or perhaps a place a maintinance/shop manual can be bought? Went to the dealership thinking I could find one for my 500SL but the guy at the counter said that they don't have them and that he's never heard of them for Mercedes (sure )
Would like to buy one localy instead of online.....hopefully I can find one. Is there a certain type/brand that would be a better choice than another?
I'm still trying to figure out my cold start/rough idle problem and a shop manual sure would help.

Thanks

All Data, that's their name, has service info. You have to subscribe and you get the info on your computer via the internet. You can also find the manuals on CD-ROM. But beware, not all CD-ROMS are created equal. There are "official" versions and then there are the ones you find cheap on E-bay. I have the E-bay version and it is rather incomplete. That is to say, it doesn't have all the detailed info you get on the factory CD's.

what ebay version did you buy?

Have been using it for a couple of years and it's not bad.

I got an "official" one from www.Manualsunlimited.com for $23. Works great so far.
