I might also point out that the wiring diagrams included on that site are so good that I maintained a subscription monthly for just that reason, until I recently found that the same diagrams are included in the new service manual CD/DVDs MB offers. While the service info is well encripted the "web etms" are easily loaded to hard drives. I have them on the laptop I'm using, unfortunbately I don't have 129 here at home. I do have it at work though.

This web etms folder is absolutely reason enough to purchace the chassis disc for one's own car. As with the online system clicking on each component will bring up a box where one can choose star finder, connector views, legend, and in some instances diagnostics. The diagnostics is a pin by pin explanation of the circuit on that pin. Such as whether it is an input or output and what its intended action is.

Unfortunately, the 220,215,and 230 cars aren't represented, so I buy single day subscriptions when I have anything significant to evaluate with a drawing on those chassis. Simple stuff can be done with drawings from WIS (which are included in Alldata), but after once using the web etms one becomes spoiled as they are infinitely better. Just the fact that they are in color would be enough, but the hot links really finish the issue.

I have them for 129, 140, 163, 164, 170, 202, 203, 208, 210, and 211 chassis cars.

BTW the 124 and 126 chassis cars ETMs are in a pdf folder that is downloadable from the startek site. Unfortunately the locator pictures aren't included and best I have noticed the 124 folder is the same as one would get if buying the print version. In other words the 124 93 on cars aren't included.
