I really should purchase this and find out for myself, but out of interest, does the book cover diagnostics in detail?

This is where the real help comes in when problems occur!


EDIT---

OK, I have made the purchase - couldn't stand it anymore!

Yes, it does... It includes basic diagnosis and trouble shooting procedures for each system covered.

According to the rear jacket, it covers:
Mercedes: 190, 280, 300, 380, 450, 500/560 (as well as several dozen other makes/models).

One of the more interesting charts in the book details which Bosch Fuel injection system is used in each Benz/Porsche/Audi/BMW etc.

I thought that I had another really good book on FI around here somewhere but I can't lay my hands on it at the moment. If it turns up I'll note it here. You can also do a search on Amazom.com.uk for the search term: "BOSCH" + "fuel injection".
