Mercedes Benz CL Class workshop manuals

Mercedes-Benz CL Class at a glance: 14 manuals, covering 1998 to 2011 models, with engines from 4.7 to 6.3 litres.

About the CL-Class

The CL ("Coupé Luxusklasse") was Mercedes-Benz's flagship coupe, the two-door version of the S-Class, sold under that name from the 1996 model year until 2014, when it became the S-Class Coupé again. Mercedes considered it its premier model.

What these manuals cover

  • 1998–1999 (C140): the CL 500's 5.0 V8 and the CL 600's 6.0 V12.
  • 2000–2006 (C215): the 5.0 V8, the CL 55 AMG, the 5.8 and twin-turbo 5.5 V12s of the CL 600 and the CL 65 AMG.
  • 2007–2011 (C216): the CL 550 (5.5, then 4.7 twin-turbo V8 in 2011) with 4MATIC, the CL 600 and the CL 63 AMG.

Tip: the first number in brackets is the model code, and its first three digits give the chassis series (210.065 is a W210). The second number is the engine code (112.941 is an M112 engine), so manuals for other models with the same engine code cover the same engine.
