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.

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 factory service and repair manual is built around the 1998 Mazda Protege exactly as it left the line, matched to this model year and to the engines and trims it was built with, so every specification and service sequence it gives is the figure Mazda published for this car and not one carried over from an adjacent year.

Engines covered

  • 1.5L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 1.8L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • DX
  • ES
  • LX

Known issues on the 1998 Protege. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch on 1990-1998 Protege vehicles: the grease applied to the contact points inside the switch can become conductive and overheat, and an overheating ignition switch brings an increased risk of fire. The second is an equipment recall on 16,270 aftermarket combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies sold for various passenger vehicles; the lamps lack the amber side reflectors required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, and the decreased lighting visibility that results may lead to a crash. Owners have filed 47 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether the job is tracing a stubborn electrical fault back to the ignition switch, checking the corner and bumper lamps, or working a scheduled service on the 1.5L or 1.8L four, it keeps you on Mazda's own procedure and the right specification for this 1998 Protege.
