Launched 16 years ago, Mercedes-Benz C-Class models are now a common sight on UK roads. While retaining the brand's traditional for engineering excellence and first-class build quality, the successor to the 190 series has added style and many more features - particularly on later models.
Well proven engines and a reputation for reliability make C-Class models an excellent choice as a secondhand purchase. The engine compartment is well designed, and most of the items requiring frequent attention are easily accessible. Arguably, they are good cars for DIY basic maintenance, reserving more major tasks for a garage to undertake. With this in mind, Haynes has released a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Petrol & Diesel Haynes Workshop Manual covering a wide range of C-Class models
Haynes Workshop Manuals have an enviable reputation worldwide for precise, extensively illustrated instructions to enable owners to undertake everything from simple tasks to major overhauls - and avoid costly garage bills. Applying the well-established Haynes formula, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Petrol & Diesel workshop manual was written and illustrated following the complete stripdown and re-assembly of one of the models and close examination of others in the range. This Haynes Manual will help you decide what work needs to be done and then choose whether to tackle it yourself or take your C-Class to a garage - each task has a complexity rating and the tools needed are listed. It also provides information on routine maintenance and servicing, and gives a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults occur.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Petrol & Diesel manual has drawings and close-up photographs to show the location of various components Tasks are described and photographed in a clear step-by-step sequence with details of what tools are required and a complexity rating. There are sections on daily, weekly and routine maintenance plus instructions for straightforward jobs such as wiper blade replacement. Also included is advice on preparing for the MOT test, fault-finding charts and useful guidance for driving economically.
For more ambitious home mechanics, major overhauls to the engine, suspension and brakes have full instructions, illustrations, and a rating for their complexity. Where special tools are called for, the manual explains their function and (where possible) how to make a cheaper alternative.
As with all Haynes Manuals, there are sections on:
- Maintenance - simple weekly checks to keep you on the road
- Servicing - complete, fully illustrated step-by-step guides
- Fault-finding - helping you to pinpoint specific problems easily
- Brakes - safety checks and repairs for the home mechanic
- Overhaul - everything from fitting a new oil seal to an engine rebuild
- Haynes Tips - valuable short cuts to make many tasks easier
- Difficulty ratings - every task is graded from 'beginner' to 'expert'
