Help from someone familiar with the Benz Workshop Manual system would be appreciated.

I've had a 4 disc system for a few years and have recently loaded it onto a dedicated laptop, about 200Gb of info.
What I'm hoping to access are the wiring drawings initially,
followed by the technical info, mainly for torque values as I rebuild a 651.

I can access the 'Damage Code Direct', but that gives no more than basic drawings and part numbers.
I'm assuming access to what I want is via the red car icon, that takes me through a password log on ok, after that, it all being in German, I'm lost.
I've tried various this and that's w/o success. any help appreciated to get to WDS and WIS.

I'm sorry I can't help you, I have twice attempted to "Purchase" a copy of WIS/ASRA/EPC from advertisers on t'internet and failed miserably on both occasions, I have in fact voluntarily donated to the causes of one set of Russian criminals who attempted to gain control of my 'Internet laptop' via a Virtual Machine account and another from Czechoslovakia who were just plain and simply thieves!
Whatever happened to the honourable practice of a fair exchange of goods via the Bit Torrent sites back in the days when the criminals operated within their own code of conduct?

You can change the language in WIS. Once loaded, press F2 and the set up will come up. The second tab is languages and you can change it unless it's a german only version (not sure)

They sell stuff that is (rightly or wrongly) freely available on the 'net. There is another thread where I pointed out some working links

Thanks, but no go.
There is a selection box to flip German / English US, and while it accepts the command it makes no difference to the text.

So I can enter the 'user' access to EPC, WIS, ASRA but from there I'm stumped.
Some years ago this programme allowed me electrical drawings and more, v possibly I'm not following the same path but so far I can't gain the same stuff.

ILLEGAL! :oops: With all the time you're spending in Germany I think you're adopting a German sense of humour and in serious risk of losing your home grown one completely! :)
CHRIST NOOOOOOOOOO :shock:
