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.

Item as described quick delivery

The 2019 Acura TLX was sold with two engines, a 2.4L inline-four and a 3.5L V6, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact model year, so the specifications and service sequences are the ones written for your engine and trim.

Engines

  • 2.4L I4 — 2356cc (144 cu in), DOHC, naturally aspirated, gas
  • 3.5L V6 — 3471cc (212 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, gas

Trims

  • Edicion Limitada Sedan 4-Door
  • Base Sedan 4-Door
  • SH-AWD Sedan 4-Door
  • Advance Sedan 4-Door

Known issues on the 2019 TLX. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two are separate fuel pump campaigns (21V215000 and 23V858000), each for a fuel pump failure that can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. A third (23V751000) covers internal engine hard parts, where a damaged engine may run improperly or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a fire or crash. The fourth (19V298000) covers the timing belt, where teeth separation from the belt may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 129 complaints against the 2019 TLX, and 44 technical service bulletins are on record for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a scheduled service interval to a fuel delivery fault or a timing belt job, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 TLX.
