Question Looking for w203 service manual

I've been looking for a w203 service repair manual. I searched online for some time now but have not came up with anything. I want to change my own oil, replace my brake pads, etc... things I can do at home, but just seem to not understand the mercedes way of doing things. Can anyone direct me to the location(s) where one might purchase one? I saw on E-bay that a student was selling an E-class edition of a workshop set they acquired in the mercedes benz school. I emailed them and asked if they had a friend who had a w203 edition, but no response. So anyWHO... Can anyone help me?

The service manual is available on-line by subscription at www.startekinfo.com

There have been E-Bay ads for CD-ROM manuals. My guess is that this is information from the on-line site saved as pdf documents.

Arrow me again

Interesting site... but I wouldn't like to pay over a grand a year for that site's access. I would rather want, something, like a book. So anyone have an idea where one would purchase this item?

It is called WIS and it isnt a book. It is a DVD.

Let me be explicit: Mercedes does not publish hard-copy manuals for cars that are still in production. The only sources are CD-based, as noted above, and the more recent the car, the less likely you'll see a complete collection. A temporary subscription, with a download of the info you're most likely to use the most, makes the most sense...or go with one of the E-Bay offerings. But don't look for significant help from MBUSA - they want you to take the car to a dealer, not do it yourself.

let me help you out the startek website contains no useful info for the repair, or mait of your car. I just bought a 24 hr subscription lasr week, no worth the 18 bucks. changing brake pads amd any other general mait is the same on your mb as it is on any other car.

Where would I find information (torque specifications, order, etc.) to replace a fuel level sensor, door handle, visor flap, etc.?
