W111 Maintenance Manual
Hi, I’m just about to aquire a 220S fintail, 1963, sedan and do search the net for a workshop/repair manual. I do not find any hardcopies available.
However, several download and CD’s are available as scanned copies of original workshop manuals provided as a pdf-file. This format is very fine with me; however I’ve experienced various qualities of scanned copies for my other classic car. Can anyone point me to “the right” one for w111, 220S, sedan with proper content and good quality of the scans. Thanks in advance Einar Norway. I buy them in English on ebay (US) when I can find them cheap. I have a few that are in dreadful condition and a few that look like coffee table books. I figure that for my purposes I don't care if the cover is destroyed, pages are greasy, etc.

In addition to providing detailed answers to most of the problems in the book, this manual can help the instrctor determne which of the problems are most appropriate for the class. The vast majority of the problems have been solved with the help of available the problems have been solved with software (SAS, S~Plus, Minitab).
It is a great book. An interesting aspect is that Mercedes printed these for years and years. The original ones were in binders, then a turquoise blue cover, then a light blue cover, now grey. Each time they changed the image quality of the photographs went down.
The early ones have the best pictures. If you find the complete manual (starting in 1959) it will cost around $300. The complete manual runs to 2 volumes just for the W111. Add the 112,113,108 and 109 and it can cover 12 volumes. I have most of them and yes they are very handy.
The factory would send out updates every month.The dealer /work shop manager was expected to remove the outdated parts and replace them with the newly issued pages. One of my manuals has all of the letters from Daimler benz plus both of the old and new pages. It is about 100 mm thick.
I also have such things as special tool manuals,(handy for making things when tools are too dear or not available) service manuals for describing jobs required at service time,not repair work.There were even tune up manuals which would cover a range of models exclusively but went into great detail on how to set distributor timing and fuel mixture adjustments. Most of this stuff is missing from the reprints and the classic center no longer sells the CD's. For today's cars they no longer issue manuals so you have to access the Mercedes workshop information service(WIS) a total pain as it takes ages to find small details. These are the manuals that I use. The are sometimes called 'The Big Blue Book(s)', although originally they were issued as Mercmad as smaller publications that went into binders, then they were issued as the first reprint series with the turquoise blue cover as shown in the pictures, then later reprints were a light blue cover with black text, and the final version was grey and looked like the still-available German-only edition.
In the first picture I show the 1959 - (1967) volume, the second is the 1968 - 1972 volume, and the third is an extremely crappy 1959 - volume lacking a cover. It is in poor condition. I purchased it on ebay (US) for probably US$50 or so. For someone who needs a grubby but good book to work on a car it is worth way more than I paid. Typically I see good condition ones for US $200-$400. The 1959 - manual covers early W108, W110, W111, W112, and early W113.
The 1968 - covers W108, W109, late W111, and late W113. I have a 1967 250SL, and as such I really need both manuals. If you have something before 1967 you really don't need the 1968 - manual unless you are working on something later. Also, some of the stuff in the 1959 - manual isn't repeated in the 1968 - manual, so for some 1968 - cars you need both manuals. The size of each manual is approximately 30 cm x 21 cm x 4.5 cm.
If you are working on a W111 I think it is worth it to try to get a crappy one on Ebay US and pay the fees and postage. It's a great manual. I think I may have one of these, but from memory is there another one or two books that go with it? Is it part of a set? I seem to recall that there were some sections missing and it would jump from one part of the car to another. I have access to decent photocopier/scanner at work so could easily run a large manual like this through it to create a PDF (have done that with some owners manuals for W116 and W201s in the reference library already).

Makes it easier if the manual is really old and the pages are falling out! Pastelgrey300D wrote:I think I may have one of these, but from memory is there another one or two books that go with it?

Makes it easier if the manual is really old and the pages are falling out!The most common configuration is the various reprints. My 1959 - 1967 was printed in 1970 and is complete, meaning there are no further updates to it. It was in print several times over the last 20 or 30 years. It is still in print in German. The earliest version(s) were binders with sections that were sent to dealers, and the dealer would swap out an obsolete section if an update came in (correct me if I'm wrong). I've never had that configuration So from my perspective, there is ONE manual for 1959 - (ending when the next manual came out) and one for 1968 - (ending at the end of 113 / 108 / 109).
And it is my belief (although not 100% sure) that some material in the 1968 - manual that is the same as the 1959 manual (for instance, the rear hydraulic compensating spring) is not repeated in the later manual. But again, I could be wrong. I feel confident in saying that if you have a 1960 - 1965 Fintail, the manual you want is the 1959 - Maintenance, Tuning, and Unit Replacement. It comes in different colors depending on when it was printed - originals were in binders, first post 1967 printing was in a turquoise manual as shown in my pictures, next printing was in light blue with black lettering, and last was grey. I assume that when the 1968 - manual came out, there were few if any updates made to the 1959 - manual and all reprints after that point were the complete manual (turquoise) rather than the binder inserts. It would be difficult to scan without destroying it.
I think that MB has a CD available of it in PDF format with a horrible menu interface to it. That is not useful to me, or at least I haven't tried to use it since I got hardcopies. As for 'sections', Mercedes divides certain things into sections that correspond to work groups. Part numbers also follow the same pattern. For instance, electrical vehicle lighting is in group 82, If you look in EPC (or on SLS) for a tail light lens it will be in group 82 of the parts catalog. If you want to repair something related it will be in group (section) 82 of the repair manual, and the parts that are unique to that will have 82 in the part number.

Example: A chrome taillight bezel for a W108/W109 car has a part number 108 826 0159. (different numbers for left and right). And a W108/W109 tail light lens has a part number 108 826 0256. The part number will remain constant throughout the use of the part, from model to model, except if the part is superseded by a later version of the part.
So if you are looking at parts for a W111, you will likely see LOTS of parts beginning with 110 (as it is the same part), and for a W108 you will ALSO see lots of parts that begin with 110 for the same reason. An interior handle in a 110, 111, 112, early 108, 109, 113 will have have a 110 part number. The manual DOES jump from one section of the car to another, corresponding to the 'groups' that Mercedes has divided things into. Here is a table of contents taken from the last (grey) version of the 1959 - manual.
(the Turquoise edition doesn't even have a table of contents.) Scott. Scoot wrote:I found a PDF of the 1959 - manual on-line. Interesting that it IS in two volumes. I guess there was an iteration between the binders and the reprints that came in 2 volumes. They can be found here and downloaded. Scott Had a quick look at that. They are for the Ponton 220S.
Predecessor of the Finnie with similar (but not the same engine) Bart Not quite. The website is for the Ponton. The two manuals I reference however ARE the 1959 - maintenance manual. Unfortunately the PDF is password protected such that I am unable to print or extract a page. That makes it difficult. If you look at page 3 of the first of the two manual volumes you will see text: FOREWARD This Service Manual refers to the passenger cars built from August, 1959 to December 1967 of the Models 190 c, 190 Dc, 200, 200D, 220b, 220Sb, 220SEb, 230, 230S, 230SL, 250S, 250SE, 250SL, 300SE, 300SEb, and 300SEL. That's 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113.
Mercedes 220 Mercedes-Benz has sold a number of automobiles with the '220' model name: W187, W180, W128, W111, W115 and W202. This model was produced from 1951 until 1997. In May 1993, the first generation W202 C-Class was introduced as a replacement for the 190. Styling themes were carried over from the previous W201 series, but the new series had a smoother and rounder design than the previous generation of compact Mercedes. During the 1996 and 1997 Formula 1 seasons, the C36 AMG served as the sport's Safety Car.
