You may want to consider a WIS (the factory manual in electronic format). It will tell you just about everything you need to know about servicing your car. If not a WIS, then the Star Classic DVD will work.

That looks like a Star Classic Service Manual. It will cover the W209 though. This is der WIS:
The difference between the WIS and a Star Classic Service Manual is the WIS has a lot more cars. The Star Classic Service Manual is a model specific subset of the WIS. If you get the Star Classic Service Manual for a W209, that's all it will cover - the W209. The WIS that I have (a 2007 version) has the W201, 124, 140, 126, 129, A class (168 169), 202, 203, 215, 208, 209, 210, 211, 219, 163, 240 (Maybach), 220, 230, 170, 171, and the 199 SLR. You'll note it's missing a few models - 216, 221, 164, 204, 216, 207, 251, and 245. If you get a new WIS, it will have the newer models AND the older ones. The down side for older copies of the WIS is, I haven't met anyone who's been able to get my release working under MS Vista (maybe it has something to do with my G.07.03 version stating it's for XP
). If someone wants to test it (cough...cough...free copy...cough) under Windows 7, PM me. The Star Classic Service Manual appears to run anywhere AND the search function is much better.
Bootleg or expired copies of the WIS are usually on ebay ($40 or so). An expired copy will work, it just warns you that it's more than 3 months old. Just ask what year WIS it is. The Star Classic is available all over the place. I ordered mine from MB USA's 800 number.

I tried Installing it to the comp in my house but Windows 7 wouldn't even read it. I guess I will have to stick it out using it on this crappy comp at work. At least it works!
