Haynes has published 20 videos of popular maintenance procedures, available at no extra cost, for subscribers of the Mercedes A-Class (’12-’18) online Workshop Manual. The Mercedes A-Class manual covers the 1.6 litre (1595 cc) petrol engine and the 1.5 litre (1461 cc), 1.8 litre (1796 cc) and 2.1 litre (2143 cc) diesel engines.
The newly released videos cover jobs for your Mk3 W176 Merc A-Class such as changing the engine oil and filter, renewing the oxygen sensors, replacing the starter motor and changing the spark plugs.
The Mercedes A-Class (’12-’18) Owner’s Workshop Manual is available in print and online manual formats. The online manual adds full colour images, the 20 how-to videos, and the ability to access the service and repair information on your PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Haynes is the industry leader in automotive manuals, having sold over 200 million manuals worldwide, and Haynes has been helping everyday motorists to save money on costly garage bills for more than 60 years.
Every manual is written from hands-on experience gained from stripping down and rebuilding each vehicle in the Haynes Project Workshop.
The practical step-by-step instructions and clear photos are easy to follow and provide information on maintenance, servicing, fault finding, the MoT and Haynes tips to make many tasks easier.
