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.

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.

The 2014 Acura TL was built with two naturally aspirated V6 engines — a 3.5L and a 3.7L, both SOHC — across the Base and SH-AWD sedan trims. This service and repair manual is matched to the 2014 model year, so the specifications and sequences follow your engine and trim.

Engines

  • 3.5L V6 — 3471cc (212 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, gas
  • 3.7L V6 — 3664cc (224 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, gas

Trims

  • Base Sedan 4-Door
  • SH-AWD Sedan 4-Door

Known issues on the 2014 TL. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, and both cover the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module: in one, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants; the other applies in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver’s frontal air bag. Owners have filed 17 complaints, and 49 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures for those systems.

From a scheduled service interval to an SRS fault or a hard-to-trace wiring problem, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2014 TL.
