The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact year and trim, so every specification and torque sequence it gives is the one Cadillac published for your car rather than a close-enough figure carried over from a neighboring model year.

  • 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, diesel

Known issues on the 1985 Eldorado. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the cruise control servo: a small nylon bushing in the servo bail can slip out of place, causing intermittent and unexpected increases in engine speed or dieseling, with the servo rod able to catch on engine components and result in a stuck throttle. The second covers the power window switch assemblies: water or snow dripping onto the driver's side switch can cause an electrical short and the switch to overheat, with the potential to start a fire in the door panel area. Owners have filed 10 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing an intermittent cruise control surge to inspecting a power window switch for water intrusion, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1985 Eldorado.

NHTSA #87V16700026/10/1987Component: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
