Which one? The Mercedes paper manuals are broken down by Engine, Chassis, Transmission, Climate Control?
The CD's on eBay are copies of the CD MBUSA manuals which are PDF scans of the paper manuals.
Haynes (UK publisher) has a "remove and replace" manual.

Thank you MTI!
I was looking for all the information I could get, so all four inserts would be great. I saw the cd on ebay. Which do you like better, the CD or the haynes?
Thank MTI

Since I have all 3, I guess I'd have to say that the MB paper manual is like the proverbial bible. However they take up a lot of shelf space and weigh a collective ton. Definately a research reference and bathroom reading when you haven't gotten much fiber in your diet.
The CD version is handy to print out just the section you need for the job of the day. The reproductions of the pictures are pretty lousy PDF images.
Lastly, the Haynes is also a nice resource, printed on grade "z" newsprint, but with different photos than the MB manual. Haynes is notorious for mistakes or omissons of procedures. The glaring one in the W201 manual is their pronouncement that the rear sway bar can be slipped out from the subframe . . . I wasted 2 hours trying to angle it out before realizing that the subframe has to be dropped before the bar has any chance of coming out.
