W205 workshop manual

[OldskoolRS]

I want to do my own servicing on my recently bought C200, but the only manual I can find seems to be a Haynes 'Autofix diagnostics & service' which looks a bit different to the older C Class manuals and other Haynes manuals I've owned previously. I'd hate to buy it only to find it's little more than an owners manual and full of 'take to the dealer' comments, so would be good to hear from anyone who has seen it in person/has one.

I've managed fine so far using Youtube videos and common sense, but things like torque wrench settings would be good to know.

If the 'Autofix' manual is a bit dumbed down, then can anyone recommend something better?

I got a manual for my W(S)204 off Ebay, it turned out to be the software the dealers use, but frigged to run in a virtual machine - obviously illegal, but it did do what I needed and helped me a lot when looking for parts etc.

Example picture, gives you an idea of what it looks like.

I read a bit more on the 'Autofix explained' section and it's not a manual as such (I hadn't realised) just an online thing. That's a pain if I want to know torque settings for certain things, though at least one of the gearbox service videos mentions the setting needed. I think I'll just make do with Youtube videos for now; I've just done the two cabin filters this morning; easy enough once I knew where they were, though the one under the glovebox was a little awkward to get to, more due to my creaking back though.

The one I have does provide torque settings, example below.

There are many different websites which offer service manuals for free or a little fee.
I had luck finding the right one here https://www.mycarmanual.com/mercedes-benz/c-class/2012/оperators-manual/.
It was free of charge and didn't need to download anything. Maybe worth checking out if they have yours too.
