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 2018 Cadillac ATS is built around one specific model year, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic steps inside line up with your car's engine and trim instead of a nearby year's approximation. Whether your ATS carries the 2.0L L4 (VIN X, LTG) turbo, the 3.6L V6 (VIN S, LGX), or the 3.6L V6 (VIN Y, LF4) turbo, the procedures are the ones Cadillac published for that exact powertrain.

Engines covered

  • 3.6L V6 (217 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 3.6L V6 (222 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Coupe
  • Luxury
  • Premium Luxury
  • Premium Performance
  • Sedan
  • V

Known issues on the 2018 ATS. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel pump: it can detach from its mounting flange and damage the high pressure fuel line, creating a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire. The second covers the electric power steering assist system, which can fail and require greater steering effort, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 21 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a power steering assist fault to a fuel line inspection or a routine service interval on the turbocharged four or either 3.6L V6, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2018 ATS.
