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.

Item as described quick delivery

This factory service and repair manual is written to one car: the 2008 Toyota Matrix with the 1.8L four-cylinder (1ZZ-FE), in the trim it left the factory as. That distinction matters the moment you set a torque value or work through a service sequence, because the figure in front of you is what Toyota published for this model year and this powertrain, not a specification that drifted in from a neighboring year.

Engines

  • 1.8L l4 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Base, Automatic
  • Base, Standard
  • XR, Automatic
  • XR, Standard

Known issues on the 2008 Matrix. Two recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. The first falls under engine and engine cooling and concerns the engine control module on 2005-2008 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles built with that engine and two-wheel drive; the recorded consequence goes no further than noting that a variety of warnings and consequences are associated with the defect. The second falls under equipment labels, from Gulf States Toyota on certain 2005-2010 vehicles that failed to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims"; the recorded consequence is simply that this does not meet the standard requirements. There are 56 owner complaints logged against the 2008 Matrix and 78 technical service bulletins issued for it.

Whether the work in front of you is an engine management fault, a question about the tire and rim label, or a scheduled service interval, this keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and on the specification that belongs to this 2008 Matrix.
