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

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.

This factory service and repair manual was written for the 2005 Toyota Highlander specifically — the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) and the 3.3L V6 (3MZ-FE), in Base or Limited form — so the specifications and torque sequences you work to are the ones Toyota set for this vehicle rather than figures carried across from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 2.4L 2362CC l4 GAS DOHC Naturally Aspirated
  • 3.3L 3300CC V6 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Base

Known issues on the 2005 Highlander. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is a vehicle speed control recall at the accelerator pedal: the accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position. The second covers the hydraulic brake master cylinder, where a leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel. The third is filed under engine and engine cooling and concerns the belt for the power steering pump, which may become detached from the pulley. The fourth, issued by Gulf States Toyota, is an equipment labels recall for failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, Tire Selection and Rims; the labelling does not meet the standard requirements. The fifth, from Southeast Toyota Distributors, covers the front seat heater: if damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 289 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 84 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are tracing a throttle pedal that sticks, a change in brake pedal feel, a power steering belt off its pulley or a seat heater circuit, the manual keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for this 2005 Highlander.
