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 2011 Cadillac DTS is built around this exact model year, trim and engine combination, including the 4.6L V8 (VIN 6, LD8) and 4.6L V8 (VIN S, L37), so the specifications, torque values and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Cadillac actually published for this car.

Engines covered

  • 4.6L V8 (281 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2011 DTS. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition: if the key is jarred out of the run position, the air bags may not deploy in a crash, and the vehicle can lose engine power, power steering, and power braking at the same time. The second covers V8-equipped cars where the starter or alternator cable can rub against the power steering return line, wearing through it and causing a power steering fluid leak that raises the risk of a steering loss or an engine-compartment fire. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a power steering leak, checking the ignition switch, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2011 DTS.
