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 1990 Cadillac Seville factory service and repair manual is built around the 4.5L V8 (VIN 3) and the trim you actually own, so the torque values, wiring routes, and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Cadillac released for that exact configuration, not a generic Seville average.

Engines covered

  • 4.5L V8 (273 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • STS

Known issues on the 1990 Seville. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front seat belts: misaligned rear shoulder retractor assemblies can cause pendulum interference, so the belt either stays locked or fails to lock at all, raising injury risk for a rear occupant in a panic stop or crash. The second covers the frontal air bags: threaded inflator components damaged during assembly can separate when the inflator fires, letting hot combustion gases escape into the passenger compartment. The third covers the automatic transmission floor shift linkage: the shift control cable can disengage from the floor shift control, so the driver loses the gear indicator reference and can no longer tell what gear the transaxle is actually in, risking unexpected vehicle movement. Owners have filed 23 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting the rear seat belt retractors, servicing the frontal air bag system, or tracing the shift linkage, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1990 Seville.
