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 2016 Mazda CX-3 is built around the exact engine and trim on your build sheet, so the torque values, wiring routes, and diagnostic steps you follow are the ones Mazda published for this specific crossover, including the 2.0L L4 engine (VIN 7).

Engines covered

  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • Grand Touring
  • GS
  • GT
  • GX
  • Sport
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2016 CX-3. No recalls are on federal record for the 2016 CX-3, and no complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year either. That clean record doesn't change what's covered here: the same factory diagnostic and repair procedures Mazda dealers use are laid out for every system on this platform.

Whether you're setting valve lash on the 2.0L, working through a routine service interval, or tracing an electrical fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 CX-3.

It’s a safety risk with this car. The converter burns super fast, causing issues that seem like it’s related to transmission or alternator.
