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.

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

The 2006 Acura TL was built in a single configuration for the model year: one engine and one trim. This factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact build, so the specifications and procedure sequences are the correct ones for your car.

Engines

  • 3.2L V6 — 3210cc (196 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, gas

Trims

  • Base Sedan 4-Door

Known issues on the 2006 Acura TL. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year: aftermarket front suspension lower control arm ball joints that may have been mistakenly installed and could separate from the lower control arm, replacement accelerator pedal assemblies that can bind so the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is released, and frontal air bag impact sensor bolts that were not properly torqued and may loosen or fall out, leaving the sensor unable to properly detect a crash. Owners have filed 342 complaints and 32 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems.

From a routine service interval to a front suspension rebuild or an air bag sensor circuit that will not clear, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 TL.

NHTSA #19V18200006/03/2019Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling specific 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2013-2016 ILX, 2013-2014 ILX Hybrid, 2003-2006 MDX, 2007-2016 RDX, 2002-2003 3.2TL, 2004-2006, and 2009-2014 TL, 2010-2013 ZDX and 2001-2007 and 2009 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic, 2003-2005 Civic Hybrid, 2001-2005 Civic GX NGV, 2002-2007 and 2010-2011 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2007 Fit, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2008 Pilot, and 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles. The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash

Consequence

An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy

NHTSA #19E06800010/10/2019Component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Dorman Products, Inc.

The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."

Consequence

If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy
