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.

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 1997 Cadillac Eldorado factory service and repair manual is built for this exact year, engine and trim, so the specifications and torque sequences inside are the ones Cadillac published for your car, not a figure borrowed from a nearby model year. It covers the 4.6L V8 (VIN Y, LD8) and the 4.6L V8 (VIN 9, L37), the two engine codes stamped on Eldorados built for this year.

Engines covered

  • 4.6L V8 (281 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door sedan
  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • Base
  • ETC

Known issues on the 1997 Eldorado. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel delivery system, where the nylon fuel rail tubing (and, on some vehicles, the underhood fuel return line) can degrade and crack, and a resulting fuel leak near an ignition source could result in a fire. The second covers the antilock/traction control brake system, where the electronic brake control module can cause the ABS to cycle during a non-ABS brake application, increasing stopping distance and the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 79 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a fuel-rail leak, checking the ABS module, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 Eldorado.
