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.

Known issues on the 1987 Civic. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front seat belt buckle assembly: the red plastic release buttons marked "PRESS" can break, and broken pieces can fall into the buckle and keep it from operating properly, so the belt would not provide adequate protection in a crash. The second covers the windshield wiper: under high ambient temperatures the front windshield wiper contact unit could loosen and become dislodged, causing wiper failure and affecting driver visibility. The third covers the owner's manual itself, which omitted safety belt information required under FMVSS 210, Sections 6A and 6B. Owners have filed 41 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a buckle assembly that won't latch right to a wiper that quits in hot weather, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1987 Civic.
