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.

Two engines were offered in the 2012 Toyota Sienna: the 2.7L four-cylinder (1AR-FE) and the 3.5L V6 (2GRFE). Which one is under the hood changes the service specifications on almost every powertrain job, so the code cast into the block is worth confirming on this van before a single fastener comes out.

Known issues on the 2012 Sienna. Eight recalls sit on the federal record for this vehicle. Two are label campaigns: in one, incorrect information on the vehicle placard may lead to tire overloading; in the other, an inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. Three are air bag campaigns. Two of those cover the passenger-side frontal inflator module — in one, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants; in the other, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. The third covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module, where the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration. One covers the door structure: if the power sliding door opens while the vehicle is moving, there would be an increased risk of injury. One covers electrical equipment on vans fitted with non-original-equipment remote engine starters, where antilock braking and stability control may be lost. The eighth covers hydraulic service brake hoses on wheelchair vans built on the Sienna, where contact may cause failure of the rear brake hoses, resulting in a loss of vehicle control. Owners have filed 331 complaints against the 2012 Sienna, and 138 technical service bulletins have been published for it.

Work on a van this age tends to land on the same systems those campaigns name — the sliding doors, the occupant-sensing front seat, the rear brake hoses — and on each of them the number that settles the job is the one Toyota published for the 2012 Sienna, not one carried over from an adjacent model year.
