Maintenance Logging

Wondering what people are using to track their maintenance on their R129
I like digital and I just have one file for it right now
Just got the car last May and the records were not great
Would like to see what people are doing

See what other members say ... but you could wait for the wrench symbol to show up on the dash.
I think these cars are programmed to keep track of mileage & maybe time elapsed.

Thanks ChrisB. I like that the car does that but I want to see how people track their maintenance to show down the future what was done and when. No plans to sell car but when I bought the car the previous owner did not have many receipts. I want to document all the things I am doing for the car
