I can vouch that mine has not been reset correctly! Where does one go to find the instructions for operating this ASSYST Plus system? Like, what, specifically are "Additional Items" and when are they cancelled/confirmed? I've scoured the WIS, MSS, and the internet to no avail. I would expect...

Thanks for your note V12. I'll ask the guys at MB shop to put it on STAR next time I'm over there.

I just finished replacing the injector seal on my 2003 W211 E220 CDI cylinder #4 and learned a bit that I thought might be helpful to someone else down the road. Mostly this is a confirmation of what others have receommended except for my recommendation on a solvent. First off, definitely warm...

Hi, Is it possible to change a European vehicle from Imperial to U.S. units of measure? There doesen't seem to be a setting for this in the user menu, unless it's hidden. Any ideas where the setting can be changed? My '03 E220 CDI has always indicated higher mileage than what I have measured...

Thanks fellas. Hadn't thought about the engine mounts, so that's an especially good lead. Surprised to hear so few manual gearboxes. Over here there are *none* on the E class, so mine is special here as well. Will post back after I have a look - might be a while. Thanks! (Cheers!)

Hmmm. Guess I'm the only one this has ever happened to.

2003 E220 CDI Engine OM646.961, trans 716.649 - manual shift six speed, 138k miles Every so often when I let out the clutch in 1st gear she pops out with a hellacious bump and of course the engine revs away. I put it back in and she takes off as normal. Happens more often if I'm in a hurry...

Thanks for your note grober. Message from Mercedes Club (UK) staff indicates no restrictions on location. Supplement of £10 is consequential considering the benefits, especially if I can get WIS access from abroad.

Confirmed - in the US, WIS access through Star TechInfo is for documentation covering US spec vehicles only: "We only provide technical data on U.S. spec vehicles. Regards, The STAR TekInfo Team" Seems like my best shot is to join the Mercedes-Benz Club (UK) and get the card to access...

Hmmmm...this looks promising. Thanks for your input! Wondering if Star TekInfo site is WIS for US models only? I know (and currently have) worldwide EPC access through there. Anyone using Star TekInfo for European models WIS?

You know, even though there's not much talk about access to WIS here since our workshop manuals come on DVD, it's worth a shot. Thanks.

WIS Access for US Resident with EC Car Wonder if that EPC and WIS access through the club would work for a US resident too. Been having a dickens of a time gettting workshop info for my '03 E220 which was originally delivered to Belgium. All of the registration portals I've tried for WIS...

I wondered too, how can I tell if the thermostat isn't performing up to par and so made a note to myself while driving yesterday that with a new thermostat in urban driving it took about ten minutes for my OM646 to reach 95 deg, which seems to be my normal operating temp.

Yeah, deg. C., what was I thinking!

For what it's worth, just remedied the same problem as duncanh above by changing out the thermostat as well on my OM646/E220. Temps would hover willy nilly around 70ish and on the highway sometimes not even hit 80. I didn't bother to remove the fuel lines, but did take out the oil filter to...

Thanks Rory for your input. Your probably right, I'm just reading too much into it. Sure wish the european service booklets were avaiable like the US versions.

Still hoping for some more detailed info on these additional work items. C'mon, don't tell me you all hand your keys over when it's time for service? :^)

Thanks to you both for your direction, EES site prints a sheet but really doesn't detail the info enough for a DIY'er like me. Still looking for procedures to go along with those additional work items from the ASSYST+.

Getting ready to tackle the E+ job myself. Service items 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, and 15 are due and that's easy, but where do I find the procedures for Additional work items that are also indicated i.e., 1, 3, 4, 6, EGA, General Insp., 9, 11, 12, 13. They're not listed in the service booklet. Where...

Hi Druk, Thanks for your clarification. With regards to the replacement service booklet the most importwant part is the listing of the service codes with descriptions in the back. These correlate the codes from the FSS/Assyst Plus and descriptions e.g., Service Code 1 lists procedure 4251...
