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 manual is built specifically for the 1996 Honda Accord, covering the F22B1 and F22B2 2.2L four-cylinders and the C27A4 2.7L V6 exactly as Honda documented them for this model year, so the specifications and procedures inside match your Accord's actual engine and trim rather than a figure carried over from a nearby year.

Engines covered

  • 2.2L inline-four — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.7L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 5-door wagon
  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • 25th Anniversary Edition
  • DX
  • EX
  • EX-R
  • LX
  • Value Package

Known issues on the 1996 Accord. Thirteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Twelve of them cover aftermarket replacement headlamp and combination lamp assemblies from a range of suppliers — including K2 Motor, AAI Motorsports, E Speed Racing, Anzo, Dope Inc., Tradesonic, CK Motorsports, Pro-A Motors, Poli-Auto, AJ Motorsport, Eagle Eyes/Sonar, and J & A Auto Accessories — sold without the required amber side reflectors, which reduces lighting visibility to other drivers and can lead to a crash. The remaining recall covers the factory air conditioning wire harness, which was routed so that its wires rub against each other; the resulting short circuit can overheat the underhood wiring and start a fire in the engine compartment, or simply blow a fuse or drain the battery. Owners have filed 499 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for this model year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a short in the AC harness or doing a routine service on the F22B1, it keeps you on Honda's OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1996 Accord.
