Current documentation - is it really available?

[scoot]

I have searched the forums and find that some of the links to documentation are no longer valid.  I have just acquired a 250 SL and now I need to find the documentation to work on it.  I know that the BBB exists and can be ordered from Germany in German, and I have located a parts CD also on a German website.

What I'm not finding is anything in the U.S. where I can purchase the parts and/or maintenance CDs for the 113.  When I phoned the Classic Center, they referred me to the Literature department, and when I asked the Literature department about CDs, they had no idea what I was talking about....

Help?  Thanks!!!!!!!

I am very surprised that the Classic Center professes to not know about the CD's etc. I was not able to access the MBUSA technical literature site, but you should be able to go there to find this CD. I think the prices have been dropped significantly from several years ago. You are looking for Volume 4 of the CD set; which has the 113 among a bunch of other stuff.

You should also be able to find the BBB on ebay fairly readily. This is where I found mine.

Waqas, you are not alone. I also bought the Volume 4 CD  two or three years ago, at about the price you paid. I guess there are some things that MB has lowered the price on. Now, if they would only do that with some of the dang parts!
