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 factory service and repair manual for the 2008 Honda Odyssey is built around this exact year, engine and trim, so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps inside match what Honda published for your van and not a nearby model year's approximation, covering the 3.5L V6 (J35A7) and 3.5L V6 (J35A6).

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door mini passenger van

Trims covered

  • DX
  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2008 Odyssey. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the fuel pump: a replacement fuel pump module can send a false full-tank reading and let the van run out of fuel and stall, and on original pumps the fuel pump strainer cover can deteriorate and leak fuel, raising the risk of a crash or a fire. A third covers the power liftgate struts, which can develop a manufacturing flaw that leaks their pressurized gas and leads to unexpected closure. A fourth covers the Vehicle Stability Assist software, which under certain conditions can apply the brakes hard and without warning the brake lights. The fifth covers the VSA modular pump, where air entering during the self-check after startup can accumulate over time and soften brake pedal feel. Owners have filed 499 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a fuel gauge that reads full when it isn't to inspecting the power liftgate struts or the VSA brake system, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 Odyssey.
