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.

This service and repair manual is matched to the 2005 Toyota RAV4 as Toyota built it that year, down to the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) under the hood and the trim the vehicle left the assembly line as, so the specifications you work to are Toyota's own for this vehicle rather than close figures carried over from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2005 RAV4. Four recalls stand on the federal record for this model year, and two of them are air bag inflator modules. The first covers the passenger-side frontal inflator module: an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. The second covers the driver-side frontal inflator module on RAV4s built May 13, 2003 through October 25, 2005, and applies in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag. The other two were issued by Southeast Toyota and Gulf States Toyota over labels that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, Tire Selection and Rims: on the Southeast Toyota vehicles a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash, and on the Gulf States Toyota vehicles the label does not meet the standard requirements. Owners have logged 168 complaints against the 2005 RAV4, and 81 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.

Whether the job is an air bag inflator inspection, a tire and rim specification check against Toyota's own figure, or a routine service interval on the 2.4L four-cylinder, the procedures and values here are the factory ones for this 2005 RAV4.
