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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1990 Honda Civic is matched to your exact year, engine and trim, covering both the 1.5L L4 (D15B2) and 1.6L L4 (D16A6) that Honda built the Civic with that year, so the specifications and procedures inside are the ones Honda published for your car, not a figure carried over from a nearby model year.

Engines covered

  • 1.6L inline-four (98 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 1.5L inline-four — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door wagon
  • 2-door hatchback
  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • CX
  • DX
  • EX
  • LX
  • RT 4WD
  • Si

Known issues on the 1990 Civic. Ten recalls are on federal record for this model year. Seven of them cover aftermarket headlight, corner, and combination lamp assemblies sold as replacement equipment for the Civic that were built without the required amber side reflectors, which can leave the vehicle poorly illuminated and raise the risk of a crash. Another covers paint applied in the windshield mounting area, where poor adhesion between paint layers can cause the windshield to lose retention and separate from the vehicle without warning. Another covers the front seat belt buckle release button, which can break and drop pieces into the buckle assembly, causing the buckle to operate improperly and reducing crash protection. The last covers the automatic transmission, where an improperly machined internal shaft can keep the park pawl from fully engaging, letting the vehicle roll away while parked. Owners have filed 102 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 windshield retention check to a seat belt buckle inspection or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1990 Civic.
