Haynes manual instructions

Highly doubtful. In fact, probably worse.

Bite the bullet and get the Factory Service Manual's.

I probably will.

 

I think there is some *online* service, don't remember the name
offhand, and they have your service manual *online.* You subscribe on
an annual fee basis; something like $25 a year or some such. Can't
remember the name, but, that is the way I would go.

A -physical- shop manual weights 20 pounds, takes a day to put
together into the binders, and is a monstrosity. And unless you're
changing out the rod bearings on your pistons or something, it seems
to be a *bit* of overkill for most repairs you would make as a
hobbyist.

Many repairs require specialized tools, and those are going to cost
you a fortune, and you may only use them once.

Sometimes it makes more sense to bring the dang thing into a qualified
service shop.

Alldata. Naw, they don't. They have *THEIR* service manual online. It
contains somebody else's digest of information that comes from several
sources. Many procedures are reasonably complete, others aren't.

Horseshit. A physical shop manual consists of one or a few volumes,
usually totalling about 5 pounds and fitting easily on a bookshelf. How do
I know? Well, it might have something to do with the twenty or thirty
factory service manuals I own.

If you're trying to replace "rod bearings on your pistons", you've got
much bigger problems than what manual to use.

Sometimes it makes more sense to know what the hell you're talking about
before you post.

It's http://www.alldatadiy.com. Is this really a Bentley manual on-line?
How come they (Bentley) do not sell it on CD for my car (1989 Audi 100)?

I found factory manual on eBay for $105 and shiping was ~ $50

Every time I go to my mechanic I am more and more convinced that I
should do repair by myself, since where I am there is no such thing as
"qualified service shop". And Audi service is to expensive for me.

 

Yah, thanks. Alldata. I've heard a lot about it but haven't signed
up ( yet ).

So, that is horseshit. I bought a service manual for a car and it
came in two cardboard boxes. And it was big, and it was heavy. Maybe
my memory of it isn't as clear as it should be, but I remember big,
and I remember heavy.

Of course, I'm not the "Hulk" you probably are, I'm just a little guy.

exactly so

blow it out your ass.
I've been around longer than you have chump ( with a small c ). And I
know more than you do, chump. Maybe not about any one particular
thing, but things in general.

Outta my way, sleezeball. BTW, ever finish high school did we?

DS for damn shame.

 

Good question, Yvan. I would go over there and find out, but I have
to go on an errand shortly. Otherwise, I would be happy to find out.
It is *possible.*

Damn good question. I suppose they want to keep the work in their
shops where they can make the MOST money.

That's right, Yvan. It is big, it is expensive, it is heavy, and
you'll never even use or need 99.99% of the information in there.
That's why I would go for the *online* service, IF they have
documentation for your model car ( and year ).

Exactly so Yvan. All service shops charge you twice. The
technician-baffoon get's 1/2, and the *house* gets 1/2.

And when I say baffoon, I am paying them a compliment. I had my
rotors turned at a brake shop, and when I got em back from the ******
who did the work, they were grooved so badly in a spiral pattern I
could have used them for a barber pole.

NEVER AGAIN !

These *service shop* guys out here, VERY few of them know any more
about what they are doing than you and I do, very few. Most are
retards that are hired for the manual labor. No small wonder that
their first names are Manny.

Was that really necessary?

Daniel,
I own two alldata subscriptions - one for a GM, the other for a Chrysler
product. While I am only recently finding that not all their
information is complete, I have consistently noticed that what they do
have is word-for-word out of the FSM. Figures and schematics are an
exact copy of the ones in the FSM.

You've obviously seen different?

Ol' Larry probably 'll think up something original to say to you now, Bill.
Maybe 'blow it out your ass' or 'go **** yourself'.

Damn, I just showed him how to spell the f-word.

A computerized shop manual is a PITA to browse through.
I'm a computer guy, my machines are in the house. No PC in the garage
yet. And I'm not touching my laptop after working on a car - way too
greasy.

And a shop manual is pretty much ESSENTIAL for ODB-II diagnostic
procedures. Good luck diagnosing a P1039 with a Haynes manual that
covers 4 engines over 9 years and 2 nameplates. (93-02 Camaro/Firebird
for example.) The diagnostic section for ODB-II is probably thicker
than the entire Haynes manual.

Actually, yes, I'm afraid it was.
You see, the shop *manager* is a pro. Has been in the business at
least 40 years. The employee he gave my brake job to, looked like he
had *tude,* and proceeded to destroy my brakes. Bent a control arm,
fucked my rotors up beyond recognition, and laughed all the time under
his breath.

I didn't notice all the damage until I got home.

Note: I don't have that car anymore.

Now, I've seen this happen at car washes and so forth, where darkies
are working. They see a white boy, and although I said NO SCENT they
proceed to spray it anyhow,

And where do they spray it? Why on the driver's side seat of course,
where they know I'm going to sit in it.

I would like, for Christmass, a trailer hitch for my auto, and some
chain. I will explain later.

good point

Well I have a PIM manual that came with my scanner, and OBDII
diagnostic CD Roms, BUT, the translations of the codes are built Into
the 9145, so after entering your car made, model, and year, you get
the proper interpretation of the code right on the display of the
9145. No need for a manual to translate, although I have both the
manual and the CD Roms.

Bill,

You may have seen Larry mention in another post earlier today
that he had to run an errand.
That errand was for him to get his regular blood tests.

In a day or so, his doctor(s) will have his medications adjusted
and we may see him become a bit more lucid.

In the meantime, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Go one Larry, tell him I'm not making this up.

 

A Panasonic Toughbook is just the ticket in a shop environment.
Keep some Go-Jo wipes handy or use latex gloves and they survive
quite well.

Or use MOD or AllData, print out the flow charts before you get
your hands dirty, then toss the copies when you're finished.
(laser printers are under $100 now)

 

All of that is true, but irrelevant.

What is relevant, is that I live in hostile ****** country; there is
hardly a white face to be seen around here, and the nigs hate the
whites.

You must live in the South, where they still say Yessah and Massah !

I live up in the North where they say "Give it up white boy, Give it
up!" at gunpoint.

Funnny, you people, you car breakers, are REALLY out of touch with
reality, so far so, that many people go out of their way to ever make
your acquaintance ( ergo, forums like this one ).

Keep up the good work. You're giving Autozone and PePboys a bright
future in spare parts !

Maybe he is/was a lurker in misc.survivalism?

You probably hit the curb a few times on the way home.
Hell, if you can't keep yourself under control, why would anyone
assume that you can keep a vehicle under control.

But you're gonna get as much mileage out of that grudge as you
can, eh?

Ya know, someone had mentioned that for some strange reason, you
didn't smell like shit one day.
That 'splains it!

Fuckin' wit chur brain!

Can you come and pick them up or should I ship them?

 

Impossible.
He was a mouth-breathing knuckle dragger.

Listen, my patience with you is running SHORT.
HE took it for a *test drive.* After destroying my rotors on his
milling machine, he bent the shit out of my struts.

Nope. Learned my lesson. Stay away from niggers. Avoid them like
the plague they are.

One more, and you're toast. Makes no difference to me. Have it your
way.

All of that is true, but irrelevant.[/QUOTE]

An explanation for your behavior is hardly irrelevant.

It's really too bad that that's all the better you've managed to
do for yourself.

No Larry, actually I live about 90 miles north of you.

I used to live on the south side of Milwaukee, been robbed,
mugged and had our cars broken into more times than I can
remember.
Then I got smart and moved to a better area.

Other than yourself, I seriously doubt that there are any "car
breakers" subscribed here.

The reality is; the world is not going to conform to YOU Larry.
The horse is dead, kick it, **** it or walk away, but for gods
sake, quit beating it!

I'm sorry, what caliber of gun is it that's being put to peoples
heads?

Wouldn't know, there isn't an Autozone or Pep Boys within 20
miles of where I live, but as far as I know, it's numbskulls like
you that keep them in business, they -do- cater to the backyard
weekend warrior cheapskate types like you though.
