Hi;

I'm a DIYer and looking into what special tools I'll need on hand as I start out with my recently acquired 2009 S550 w221. I see there are various versions, models, etc. What really works for 99% of the stuff you'd tackle out of a home shop? Obviously I'm not going to be pulling transmissions but I'd be fine replacing a faulty coil, ancillaries etc....

Thanks

Dave

Simple answer is get a dedicated Dell D630, and buy a Chinese MB Star C3 multiplexer and cables, and a D630 compatible HDD with all the software - at least this:

DAS
WIS.net: Workshop Information System
EPC.net : Electronic Parts Catalog
ST finder

and preferbly this:

Xentry : 21 language DAS: Developer + 21 languages
WIS.net: Workshop Information System
EPC.net : Electronic Parts Catalog
ST finder2009 : Part location finder
SD Media: Video and PDF lessons
PL64 : Parts Price 2010.06 (or newer)
Smart TAN Code: Opened special function in DAS program with Smart cars
STARUTILITIES : the movement management system and self-test
Benz training : Benz Repair Info Library.


And don't use the laptop for anything else, including internet.
