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 for the 2005 Nissan Altima is built around your exact engine and trim, so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps it lays out are the ones Nissan wrote for the 2.5L (QR25DE) or 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE) as installed in this model year, not a generic stand-in.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.5L inline-four (152 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • S
  • SE
  • SE-R
  • SL

Known issues on the 2005 Altima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers aftermarket TYC halogen headlamp assemblies sold for the Altima whose misaligned photometrics reduce frontal illumination and raise crash risk. The second covers the crankshaft position sensor on 2.5L-equipped cars, which can overheat and briefly interrupt its signal to the ECM, causing the engine to stall without warning at low speed. Owners have filed 1091 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.

Whether you're chasing a stall tied to the crankshaft sensor or verifying headlamp aim, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 Altima.
