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.

Item as described quick delivery

The 2021 Nissan Altima is documented here as it left the line, right down to which engine sits in the bay — the 2.5L PR25DD four or the turbocharged 2.0L KR20DDET — so the specifications and tightening sequences you work to are the ones Nissan published for this year and trim rather than an approximation carried over from an adjacent one.

Engines covered

  • 2.5L inline-four (152 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2021 Altima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the steering tie rod assembly: the tie rod ball joint fastener was not tightened properly, which could result in the tie rod ball joint detaching from the steering knuckle, and a detached tie rod ball joint can cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash. The second covers the rearview camera: damage to the camera harness can cause distortion or loss of the rearview camera display image, and a rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash; those vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, Rear Visibility. Owners have filed 69 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are here.

Whether you are checking tie rod end play and steering knuckle fastener torque, tracing a rearview camera harness fault, or working through a scheduled service on the PR25DD, the manual holds you to Nissan's own procedure and the correct value for this 2021 Altima.
