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.

Every clearance, torque value and test procedure in the 2008 Scion xB service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim, so what you look up is what Scion published for the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) and the transmission actually sitting in your car, not a figure carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 2.4L l4 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Automatic
  • Standard

Known issues on the 2008 xB. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator rupture or explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. Three more cover load carrying capacity modification labels that do not meet the standard requirements; a driver may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. One covers the hydraulic service brakes on cars fitted with the optional TRD brake kit, where failure of a brake hose will reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. One covers the hood hinge and attachments on cars equipped with the sports grill option, where during vehicle operation this could obstruct the view of the driver and possibly cause the hood to strike the roof or the windshield, increasing the risk of a crash. The last covers the power window devices and controls: if the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire. Owners have filed 424 complaints for the year and Scion has issued 56 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are testing a power window master switch, inspecting a brake hose or working a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2008 xB.

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