Not sure they are the same, but they sure are expensive. I have one I bought maybe 18 years ago, but have not yet used it. I basically have all my knowledge from this group.

They both have the same info. However, The first listing appears to be an actual MB repair manual. The second listing is a copy that someone made.

Hi,
both manuals offered on ebay look the same with same book number.
But usually
- the Workshop Manual is focussed on all parts of your car, setting values, dismount and repairing parts, etc. but also maintenance and
- the Service Manual is more focussed on inspection and maintenance services and
there are some redundant parts.
Both books offered on ebay seem very expensive, you can find much cheaper offers.

I have this manual but agree this website is much more helpful.
I do also have a manual that gives the part number and a drawing for every part which is very helpful, especially when ordering parts from the Classic Center.
