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.

The 2003 Toyota Prius came one way: a single Base trim over the 1.5L hybrid four (1NZ-FXE), with the gasoline engine and the electric motor sharing the work. That drivetrain is what sets the job apart from a conventional four-cylinder Toyota of the same era, and the procedures and specifications here are the ones Toyota wrote for this car and this model year.

Known issues on the 2003 Prius. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the electric power assist steering system. Toyota recalled certain model year 2001 through 2003 Prius passenger cars manufactured from January 28, 2000, through May 30, 2003, because the steering linkage may loosen. The consequence on record is a loss of power steering, particularly when an operator is actively intending to steer the vehicle. Owners have filed 123 complaints against the 2003 Prius, and Toyota has issued 74 technical service bulletins for it.

Whether the work in front of you is a loosening steering linkage, a hybrid system service procedure, or one of the faults behind those 74 bulletins, you are working to Toyota's own method and to the right specification for this 2003 Prius.
