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 for the 2008 Honda Accord is built around the specific year, engine and trim it covers, so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Honda actually published for your car, whether it left the factory with the 2.4L L4 (K24Z3 or K24Z2) or the 3.5L V6 (J35Z2 or J35Z3).

Engines covered

  • 2.4L inline-four (144 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door coupe
  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX
  • LX-P
  • LX-S

Known issues on the 2008 Accord. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. Six of them cover the passenger frontal air bag inflator module across separate service actions: inflators installed incorrectly may not deploy properly in a crash, and others can rupture outright and send metal fragments into the cabin. A separate recall covers the air bag control unit, which can corrode and fail so the air bags may not deploy in a crash. Another covers the automatic transmission's secondary shaft bearing, where a broken outer race can trigger an engine stall or let the car roll after the selector is placed in park. The last covers an aftermarket front nose mask accessory that can snag the hood's secondary latch and let the hood pop open while driving. Owners have filed 1,520 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged in federal records. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From an air bag inflator inspection to chasing a stall tied to the transmission control module, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 Accord.
