Why No Brake, Rotor or Caliper info in W126 FSM CD - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

wgilmore · #1 07-03-2009, 11:07 PM

Why is everything in the FSM W126CD set , Brake section 42 missing all of the data relating to disc pads, calipers and rotors etc... .
In Chassis - Brakes, Hydraulic and Mechanical - Sections between 42-0040 and 42-0260 are not included as in the 124 set?
Am I missing something other than the files?
It is in the 124 chassis data...

That would be 42-100 through 42-260.
It's in the paper manual, what do you need?
This manual is borrowed, so I won't have it long.

Thanks for your offer. I need all of the info that is omitted from the CD.
I started the thread to find why 42-0100, 42-0110, 42-0120, 42-0150, 42-0152, 42-0160, 42-0220 and 42-0228 are not included in the CD version as they are in the CD version of the W124 FSM.

That's a total of 16 pages, too much info to send. Yet 260 is just one page, itr covers cleaning of new pads.
Here is one page tho, 160, the rest of it is just like any other brake pad replacement.

Thanks for the shot of the page.... Yes, that's the kind of info I'm looking for.

Again, my purpose is to try to find out why the PDF files listed in my previous post are not in the brake group - as they are in the W124 Cd Set.
Do the PDF's exist.??
Is the data for the 124 the same?

Anyone ????

I have no idea, the last few times I tried to open a disc, it crashed my pc.
Mac doesn't support it, so nothing there either.

Not meant to sound like a dumb question, but did you look at the directories/folders on the CD? My CD is for the W114/W115 but also has a lot of stuff for the older W123. And stuff for my W115 that doesn't come up on the CD's menu. So I made my own index, using hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet file. Took a while, but now I can see all the job titles in a folder at one glance, and not go back and forth on the incomplete CD menu.

A fella that goes by the computer name of Dakota has turned files like mine into his version of an index for most of the CD versions. I gave him my file with the caveat that no money can be made from it or variants. They are on his web-site. Perhaps Google something like "Dakota Mercedes Service Index."
