Whenwe first began selling manuals in the 1960s, vehicles were simple to maintain and there were relatively few models on sale. Today, electronics are a vital part of how your vehicle operates and there are more than 100,000 different variants of make/ model/ body type/ gearbox and engine.
So at Haynes, we knew that to continue offering a great product, we needed to take a brand-new approach - nothing less than a reinvention of the repair manual. With so many models on sale, it is impossible to strip down and rebuild enough cars to cover the market properly. Instead, Haynes Autofix is based upon workshop data with added DIY tutorials full of general tips and techniques.
Modern cars are equipped with dozens of sensors and ECUs (control units). Today, the first step when servicing a car is to plug a diagnostic tool into the OBD (on-board diagnostics) system of the vehicle.
Haynes Autofix is not a Haynes Manual. We want to be very clear about this, but we know that our new product will enable many thousands of you to continue maintaining your vehicle and troubleshooting problems in a DIY environment.
Note: Autofix is a worldwide product. You will sometimes see RHD (right hand drive) or LHD (left hand drive) mentioned. On location diagrams, we sometimes have LHD drawings only; but they do apply to RHD vehicles in a mirror image.
The experts at Haynes have compiled 50+ tutorials on tasks that range from changing the oil to replacing a timing belt. Use these DIY friendly guides alongside the data for your vehicle to complete the job correctly first time.
Not all ADs will change gearbox/differential oil especially if its not stated in their manufacturer's service manual. I didn't find any information about gearbox oil in the W212 owner's manual also. Check your service invoice to see if its done, and if not, i suggest you change it at the next service.
Haha, you are one smart guy. I foolishly drove with my avantgarde springs all the way with the bottom scraping at every other hump when I have a full load of people. Now I have a phobia of low clearance.
Used to scrap hump at my place on full load but after I changed to Michelin PS4 from stock Conti tyres, the problem disappeared somewhat. So Avantgarde with soft sidewalled tyres is a big no no if you drive with full load very often.
I have been driving a W212 for almost 3 years, bought new, built quality is very good. Just regular maintenance but my previous preowned Benz gave me so much headache i scrapped it prematurely. I personally won't recommend buying old Mercy unless you know the history and or have a lot of time to visit workshop.
Hi thanks so much for your offer. My concerns with the avantgarde shocks is the under carriage will get scratched when driving through humps. At least that was my previous experince. I will live with the less stiff shocks and see how it goes.
Thanks for your advice on oil change too.
