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 1987 Cadillac Eldorado factory service and repair manual is built around this specific model year and trim, giving you the torque values, clearances, and diagnostic steps Cadillac actually published for the Eldorado rather than a generic GM-era approximation.

Engines covered

  • 4.1L V8 (250 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Biarritz

Known issues on the 1987 Eldorado. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers replacement fuel filters supplied for the fuel system: a connector not built to specification can keep the O-ring from seating correctly on the fuel line, which can produce an inadequate seal at the connection, a fuel leak, and, near an ignition source, a fire. The second covers the headlight switch: with the Twilight Sentinel system on, faulty electrical contacts in the potentiometer can create an intermittent circuit that cuts the headlights and instrument panel lights without warning, reducing driver visibility. Owners have filed 7 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a Twilight Sentinel fault to inspecting a fuel filter connection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1987 Eldorado.
