I have never subscribed to the WIS (workshop information system) on Startek, so I'm not sure if there is much for 123/124/126/201 and earlier cars.

I've heard that the 126 CD's have far more about the 617 engines than the 123 CD's.

Any chance of a list of the chapters in your paper volumes? Photo of the contents?

W123 OM617a (Turbo) Links to startek FSM

Well we'll see how this goes...


...it is pretty boring working out direct links to the startek PDFs but I find myself doing it so frequently these days I thought I'd post up the links in BB code (or what ever it is called).


I'm only doing this because lots of people (including myself) struggle with the crappy flash player on the startek site that stops us from getting to the PDFs


{All of the links I've been posting previously in this thread have been examples of how to work out the file positions on the startek server}


Here's the start of the FSM for the TURBO diesel W123


(I might get to finish this in the end but it takes ages and I can't always be arsed)

Note:

#1 All these links do is point to the official PDFs on the Mercedes Benz Startek website - if the links don't work then Mercedes have taken them down - they are in charge of their (copyrighted) material

So don't blame me if they are gone!

#2 The numbers in the FSM have gaps - for example: Chapter 2 probably exists in some FSMs but it does not exist in the W123 turbo diesel FSM so the numbering so far in the posts above is exactly what is available on the FSM CDs

Do any of these links for the startek w126 service manuals work anymore? Were they taken down? Any other sources?
