Detailed description of removal, installation, adjustments, repairs, overhaul and servicing of all the major vehicle parts (except body) including engine, valves, petrol fuel injection systems, clutch, brakes, steering, transmission (except overhaul), front and rear axles and suspension, engine electrics with wiring diagrams, exploded views and complete technical data.
Small though this Workshop Manual is in size, it lacks no detail in covering most of the servicing and repair of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class vehicle petrol models from 1998 to 2004. Covered are the standard models "A140", "A160" (short version) introduced during 1998, the "A190" from model year 2000 and models "A140 L", "A160 L" and "A190 L" (long version) from March 2001. Also covered are the "Vaneo" minivan models introduced for model year 2002. Vaneo models have only been build with 1.6 and 1.9 litre engines.
Depending on the version, the engine has a performance of 82 kW (A140 and A140L), 75 kW (A160 and A160 L) and 92 kW (A190 and A190 L).
Compiled and illustrated by experts, this manual provides a concise source of helpful Information, all of which has been cross-checked for accuracy to the manufacturer’s official service and repair procedures, but many instructions have derived from actual practice to facilitate your work. Where special tools are required, these are identified in the text if absolutely necessary and the authors do not hesitate to advise you if it is felt that the operation cannot be properly undertaken without the use of such tools.
The manual is called “Pocket Mechanic” and produced in a handy glove-pocket size with the aim that it should be kept in the vehicle whilst you are travelling. Many garage mechanics themselves use these publications in their work and if you have the manual with you in the car you will have an invaluable source of reference which will quickly repay its modest initial cost.
