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

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.

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.

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.

Every figure in this factory service and repair manual for the 1989 Hyundai Sonata was written against this build year, this engine and these trims, so the clearances, torque values and service sequences you work to are the ones Hyundai published for this car rather than approximations carried over from a later Sonata.

Engines covered

  • 2.4L inline-four — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Deluxe
  • GL
  • GLS
  • Sport Deluxe

Known issues on the 1989 Sonata. Three recalls sit on federal record for this model year. One covers the seat belts: the motorized shoulder belt can travel slowly or chatter in the track and may eventually stop tracking and become inoperative, and that slowing, chattering or failure may discourage use of the restraint. A second covers the hood latch, where insufficient clearance could cause the safety catch on the secondary hood latch striker to bind; if the primary latch is released or the hood is not completely closed, the hood could fly open. The third covers the engine cooling system, where the spring clamp tangs on the coolant bypass hose may contact and possibly damage the engine fuel supply hose, and fuel could then leak from the damaged hose into the engine compartment and could result in a fire. Owners have filed 18 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 9 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are tracing a shoulder belt that has stopped tracking, resetting hood latch clearance or checking how the coolant bypass hose clamp sits against the fuel supply line, this manual holds you to Hyundai's own procedure and specification for the 1989 Sonata.
