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 manual is built specifically for the 2004 Honda Pilot: its factory service and repair procedures are pinned to the 3.5L V6 (J35A4) under the hood and to the exact trim on your title, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Honda actually published for this Pilot, not a generic SUV-family reference.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX

Known issues on the 2004 Pilot. Thirteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Eight cover the frontal air bag system: Takata-supplied driver and passenger inflators that can rupture under long-term heat and humidity exposure, sending metal fragments toward occupants, plus a separate passenger air bag that may have been installed incorrectly and deploy improperly in a crash. A headlight switch recall covers a wiring harness connector whose terminal ends can melt, killing the low beams and cutting driver visibility. An ignition switch recall covers an interlock lever that can deform, letting the key be removed without the automatic transmission being in park so the vehicle can roll away. A separate recall covers heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, which can chip or break gear teeth and lock up the transmission. Rounding out the list are a pinch-bolt hazard on an aftermarket bike rack sold for the Pilot and a certification label recall for incorrect weight and tire size information. Owners have filed 544 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 an air bag inflator inspection to chasing a rollaway-prone ignition interlock or a transmission gear check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2004 Pilot.
