WIS Questions & Annual Changes

The WIS is often updated annually from Daimler/MB.
A few questions:

1) Has anyone seen Daimler/MB go back to older model years and change past recommended servicing techniques or procedures to reflect updated best practices?

2) Has anyone seen discrepancies with the WIS as to changes in service procedure or revised procedures that differ between various years of the WIS?

3) Is the latest WIS the best version? Or can vintage/classic information from the past be left out and excluded
during the annual updates?

Thank you!

Finally Mercedes put Mercedes club members on the New EPC system ( Xentry ) however there we no longer have WIS. Do you guys in Europe and North America have access to WIS ?

Re: WIS Questions & Annual Changes

They'll get it right eventually. The US changover had a few teething problems, as well.

The best way to get WIS is to just get a WIS DVD set on eBay. For older cars and trucks, things don't change much.
