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.

Fitment is the whole point of this one: the 2008 Scion tC service and repair manual is tied to your exact year, engine and trim — the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) as Scion built it for 2008 — so the clearances, torque sequences and diagnostic steps you work from are the ones published for this model year, not a close-enough figure carried over from a neighboring one.

Known issues on the 2008 tC. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all three sit under equipment labeling rather than a mechanical part. The first covers vehicles that were not equipped with load carrying capacity modification labels; incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels could result in the vehicle being overloaded. The second, from Southeast Toyota, covers vehicles that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims": a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash. The third, from Gulf States Toyota, cites the same standard, and the recall record says only that this does not meet the standard requirements. Owners have filed 109 complaints for the year and 46 technical service bulletins are on record. The load and tire data those labels point to, and the diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems owners report on, are here.

Whether you are confirming a load or tire specification before a wheel change, tracing a fault owners have reported before, or just working a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the right specification for this 2008 tC.

No active recalls The 2008 Scion tC has no recalls on file with NHTSA.

Uses too much oil between oil change. 1quart low at 2000 miles. Should not burn this much oil. I have researched other vehicles having this same issue and this needs to be fixed. I checked Toyota website but it doesn’t show a recall for this car and it is have an issue that needs to be corrected. I scheduled an appointment for Jan 8th and hope they can get it fixed. But after reading what others have experienced for the same reason it will be more money out of my pocket due to Toyota not followi
