Actually yes they are. They are filled with so much incorrect, incomplete
information that your money is better spent paying a couple bucks more for
the factory service manual.

I'd rather not have a manual than a haynes or a chiltons...

You may get your wish. Many of the manufacturers no longer offer a manual to the
owner. If they do, it may be a CD for $100 or more

Haynes fills a need for reasonably-priced repair information specific to your
car.  It is correct far more than it is wrong.  I have a number of Haynes
manuals and have yet to find a procedure incorrectly documented.  It is true
that sometimes there is not enough info to answer the questions that come up,
but for the money I'll accept that.

I obtain a Haynes manual for every vehicle I acquire. If I can also get a FSM, I
will, but that's a backup. The Haynes gets the grease smudges.

Except, after I had learned my lesson years earlier on aftermarket
manuals, a few months after I bought my daughter a used car, the very
first opportunity that came up for diagnosis and repair of an electrical
problem, in a weak moment, I went down the street and sprung for a whole
$13 for a Haynes manual.  Due to a visibly hidden fuse that was not
shown in the "TYPICAL" schematics of the Haynes, I ended up replacing a
perfectly good factory alternator when all that was wrong was that the
in-line fuse that the manual did not show had mechanically fractured.
Aftermarket alt. cost $260, plus I now had an inferior aftermarket alt.
in place of the factory one.  FSM would have cost around $90.  Tell me:
Did I save any money?  You do the math (13 + 260 vs. 90 + 5).

BTW, I found out after the fact that, without exception, every vehicle
of the span of years and model variation covered by that Haynes manual
came from the factory with that fuse, and, after purchasing the FSM the
next day, verified that that fuse was clearly shown in the schematics,
yet the Haynes schematic was labeled "TYPICAL".

With all due respect, that's just not good basic diagnostics. Every parts store
worth giving your business to has an alternator tester. A quick check would have
told you the problem was elsewhere.  That's not excusing the omission, but there
is some shared responsibility here.

and the only company currently providing one.  And yes, some Haynes books are

My primary bone of contention is that "typical" schematics are used.  I
make the analogy to using a map that shows hiways between New York and
Philadelphia to drive from Denver to LA.  To sell someone such a map for
that purpose is fraudulent.  There's no such thing as a schematic to be
used as a "guide".  It either represents the circuits of interest and is
a useful troubleshooting too, or it is as worthless as that map.  If
it's only a guide, then leave the schematics out, because putting them
in at all implies something that isn't delivered.

You are correct about having it tested - in the attempt to keep my posts
short (which is a problem for me anyway), I just failed to mention that
- the fact is that I took it to two stores, and the standard adapters
they had with their alterantor test setups would not adapt to the
particular alternator (for the record it was on a '96 Mercury Mystique -
for some reason, the connectors are not typical of other Ford
alternators).  The one store was honest about it - did their best to use
alligator clips to hook it up the best they knew how - they didn't seem
very confident in how to hook it up, and it failed the test - I took
that with a grain of salt.  Went to a competitor who had the exact same
generic tester setup with the same standard adapters (that didn't fit
the alternator) - their guy faked it and simply told me it failed the
test.  The problem turned out to be a mechanically fractured (not
thermally/electircally blown) MegaFuseā„¢.  An alternator is not going to
blow the same time a fuse happens to mechanically fracture.

If I wasn't clear - that fuse was not part of or built into the
alternator - it was in the hot wire going from the battery tot he
alternator, and was hidden underneath the intake plenum.

I agree 100% with Texas Parts Guy. Last year I did a Timingbelt,
Waterpump, AFT replacement project around this time using Haynes. I
also had a Chiltons. I found the illustrations are more clear in
Haynes. Chiltons has more descriptions. Also I was posting and getting
help from this news group.  I will be buying a Hayens if I change my
car. It may not be the most detailed manual like the Shop Manuals, but
it helped me to save over $600 for a small investment of $12
(including shipping in eBay).

I tried to use a Haynes on an '87 Mazda for the timing belt.  Guess what
- they had the illustrations and procedures for the wrong engine because
the engine for that model had been changed for that year from the
previous one and they didn't reflect that - was totally useless for that
procedure.  The FSM would not have made that mistake because it is model
and year specific.

Unless you can find that factory service manual on eBay, it will cost quite
a bit more than a "couple of bucks".

Haynes for our '91 Integra, $20. Factory service manual, new, $200.

Haynes for our '99 Tercel, $20. Factory, new, $400.

I bit the bullet and bought the factory ones. The Honda manual is
fabulously written and, so far, extremely precise. Well worth every penny
paid for it.

The Toyota one is riddled with errors and omissions, almost as bad as the
Haynes. Very disappointing. When I need something important, I must get the
correct information from http://techinfo.toyota.com, and they charge for
it.

And by the way, I've got a nearly complete set of factory 1970 Ford Car
Shop Manuals acquired new when my Dad bought his '70 Custom 500. The only
one missing is "Volume 4, Body".

Anybody got Volume 4 for sale? eBay has only one "complete set".

I'll have to grab a copy..

I will take a Haynes manual over Chrysler's DEALER Tech Connect..  For
some reason, the full factory manuals and PDF versions on CD-ROM
aren't available online.. So the manual may give you a picture and say
remove the 5 screws in the diagram.  The online service will give you
one line of text.. "Remove the 5 screws from the panel"  And no
picture..  Sometimes there is a picture buried in one of the other
parts sections, but its sometimes not hyperlinked.

I have to agree. Haynes and Chilton are not detailed enough. Usually
the section I need doesn't go into detail enough. Nothing replaces the
factory service manuals. Whether it is GM, Chrysler, and Honda etc. If
I own the vehicle I buy the manual. The last one I bought for my
Cherokee Sport came from www.tenaflyjeepmoparparts.com it cost about
$100.00. Dwane Glenn the parts manager gives you 30% off list on all
parts. I say you will never be sorry from buying quality, buy it right
the first time and never buy it again. Dave On Fri, 12 Nov 2004

I bought the one for my 99 Mazda for $50, but I understand

Does that $50 one contain all the EWDs?

Toyota's $400 is Canadian dollars (about $330 US) and covers both books.

I assume EWDs = wiring diagrams?  Yes, it has them, though reduced in
size.  I believe there's a larger version of the manual that
the dealers have, I don't know how much that one costs.

FWIW, Nissan (/Infiniti) has a service where you pay $20 and get 24
hours of access to their entire techpubs library. You then download
all the .PDFs you're interested in, and save 'em to CD-ROM. I got
my FX' service manual this way, ~40-odd .PDFs spread out over ~200MB.

I even printed all gazillion pages in 4-up, duplex (i.e., 8 pages/
sheet) mode- while you can't really do any work in that format (when
I needed to check on something, I just printed the appropriate pages
normally), it's good as a guide as to where to look.

But if you buy the CD, it's $200.

Factor in the money you didn't waste buying wrong parts, or damaging parts
following Haynes instructions, lost time following wrong procedures,
repairing the hole in the wall from when you were so pissed off at the book
you punched a hole in it, etc.

Not typical, but I just did a quick check on Ebay for the FSM for my car and
it was $5 "Buy it now" + $5 shipping. The Haynes manual bidding started at
$15.

New I probably bought the manual for $100-$150, and I can see when the FSM
is $400 people look at other options, but I still think Haynes and Chilton's
are poor options.

I've been buying Haynes manuals for twenty years, and have had
them for Toyotas (pickup, Supra), a Honda Accord, and a Mercedes.
I can't recall every having a significant complaint about any of
them.  Maybe they've gone downhill in recent years.

I think it's just some manuals cover too much.  The Full Size GM one I
had covered Buick, Pontiac, Olds from 1970-1990.  Sure, the basic
suspension design didn't change a lot in 20 years, but the fuel system
sure did.  (manual choke -> fuel injection.)  You just can't cover both
Chevy V8's (small and big block), the Pontiac V8 and an Olds V8 in any
detail in 50 pages.

That would be the main problem I've seen for both Chiltons and Haynes -
Too many vehicles per book. I've got a Chiltons AND a Haynes that KINDA
cover my Mazda, along with the full FSM set specific to year/model. The
Chiltons covers (or perhaps I should say "tries to cover"?) 6 models and
14 years, 2.0 and 2.3 liter four-cylinder recips, and two-rotor Wankels.
IN ONE VOLUME! The Haynes? Not *QUITE* as bad: 4 models, 8 years, and
only looks closely at the 2.0 liter recip (with a notation that the 2.3
is "similar in most respects") and the two-rotor Wankel. Neither one of
them is anywhere near as in-depth as I prefer my service information to
be, glossing over WAY too many things (or totally ignoring them, like
the A/C, and a huge chunk of the electrical).

Of course, the FSM covers exactly one vehicle: The 1982 Mazda 626. And
it covers every assembly, part, bolt, screw, etc, and does it in
exhaustive detail - enough that even I wouldn't be *TOO* afraid to crack
open, ferinstance, the automatic tranny (if mine had one), and I'd
actually have a reasonable expectation of it working when I put it back
together.

The main problem I've found with the Haynes books is that they often show
detailed close-up photos of a certain part, but don't show enough of the
surrounding portion of the engine, brakes, etc. to actually locate that
part!

(One such example, a very close photo of the PCV valve, but the photo
doesn't show enough of the surrounding part of the engine to actually show
*where* that PCV valve is actually located.)

The Haynes manual for my 1997 Nissan left out the torque specs for my
brakes and front suspension, and they kept referring to a "torque
member" but never explained what it was.  It said that the fuel filter
was in the rear, but it was actually in the engine compartment (and it
wasn't a matter of the car having two fuel filters).  The body
information was for a different model (one illustration was for an
early 1970s vehicle and even said "Datsun"), and the wiring diagram
was labelled "typical," which is a euphemism for "completely different
from your car."  And when it came to information about the computer
codes and fuel/emissions, the Haynes excluded almost everything, and
the diagnostic charts for drivability problems seemed to be 100%
generic.  For example for rough idle they gave the usual hints, like
spark, lean mixture, and wrong idle speed, but they mentioned nothing
at all about the idle speed regulator.

This is what my experience has been with haynes and chiltons manuals.
Almost always wrong, for some other car, some other model year, etc.
No specific info. The factory manuals, even with the expense pay for
themselves with a couple repairs.

I have 1977 Puch Maxi, and was happy to find Haynes manual for it (from
1973) on amazon.com. Never even heard about Haynes until I joined this
group. I am completely disappointed with it as this seems to be a
"complete idiots guide" to disassemble and assemble it's engine. OK, not
quite, but I hoped for much more details.

I ordered directly from haynes.co.uk manual for both my Audi and BMW.
Hope they are better than this one from '73 :-)

I think there is some *online* service, don't remember the name
offhand, and they have your service manual *online.*  You subscribe on
an annual fee basis; something like $25 a year or some such.  Can't
remember the name, but, that is the way I would go.

A -physical- shop manual weights 20 pounds, takes a day to put
together into the binders, and is a monstrosity.  And unless you're
changing out the rod bearings on your pistons or something, it seems
to be a *bit* of overkill for most repairs you would make as a
hobbyist.

Many repairs require specialized tools, and those are going to cost
you a fortune, and you may only use them once.

Sometimes it makes more sense to bring the dang thing into a qualified
service shop.

Alldata. Naw, they don't. They have *THEIR* service manual online. It
contains somebody else's digest of information that comes from several
sources.  Many procedures are reasonably complete, others aren't.

Horseshit. A physical shop manual consists of one or a few volumes,
usually totalling about 5 pounds and fitting easily on a bookshelf. How do
I know? Well, it might have something to do with the twenty or thirty
factory service manuals I own.

If you're trying to replace "rod bearings on your pistons", you've got
much bigger problems than what manual to use.

So, that is horseshit.  I bought a service manual for a car and it
came in two cardboard boxes.  And it was big, and it was heavy.  Maybe
my memory of it isn't as clear as it should be, but I remember big,
and I remember heavy.  

Of course, I'm not the "Hulk" you probably are, I'm just a little guy.

Daniel,
I own two alldata subscriptions - one for a GM, the other for a Chrysler
product.  While I am only recently finding that not all their
information is complete, I have consistently noticed that what they do
have is word-for-word out of the FSM.  Figures and schematics are an
exact copy of the ones in the FSM.

You've obviously seen different?

Good question, Yvan.  I would go over there and find out, but I have
to go on an errand shortly.  Otherwise, I would be happy to find out.
It is *possible.*

>How come they (Bentley) do not sell it on CD for my car (1989 Audi 100)?

Damn good question.  I suppose they want to keep the work in their
shops where they can make the MOST money.

>| A -physical- shop manual weights 20 pounds, takes a day to put

That's right, Yvan.  It is big, it is expensive, it is heavy, and
you'll never even use or need 99.99% of the information in there.
That's why I would go for the *online* service, IF they have
documentation for your model car ( and year ).

Exactly so Yvan.  All service shops charge you twice.  The
technician-baffoon get's 1/2, and the *house* gets 1/2.

And when I say baffoon, I am paying them a compliment.  I had my
rotors turned at a brake shop, and when I got em back from the nigger
who did the work, they were grooved so badly in a spiral pattern I
could have used them for a barber pole.

NEVER AGAIN !

These *service shop* guys out here, VERY few of them know any more
about what they are doing than you and I do, very few.  Most are
retards that are hired for the manual labor.  No small wonder that
their first names are Manny.

Actually, yes, I'm afraid it was.
You see, the shop *manager* is a pro.  Has been in the business at
least 40 years.  The employee he gave my brake job to, looked like he
had *tude,* and proceeded to destroy my brakes.  Bent a control arm,
f.cked my rotors up beyond recognition, and laughed all the time under
his breath.

I didn't notice all the damage until I got home.

Note:  I don't have that car anymore.

Now, I've seen this happen at car washes and so forth, where darkies
are working.  They see a white boy, and although I said NO SCENT they
proceed to spray it anyhow,

And where do they spray it?  Why on the driver's side seat of course,
where they know I'm going to sit in it.

I would like, for Christmass, a trailer hitch for my auto, and some
chain.  I will explain later.

You probably hit the curb a few times on the way home.

Pull that sh.t in front of a cop, and see what happens.

Nate needs to go back to driving school, as soon as he gets his
driver's license back from the Court.

That's pretty funny.  You've obviously never been in NYC, Boston or any
other major city.  The taxis wear out horns there on a regular basis and
the cops don't even bat an eyelash.

That says something about NYC and Boston doesn't it.  Good reason not
to live there.

But I happen to be correct about this.  Like it or Not.

         And that makes YOU an authority on the local application of any
particular law enforcement technique, on a national basis??   Hmmmmmm??

         Sorry, Larry.  This says a lot more about YOU than it gives a reason
to live, or not live, in any particular location.

         Admit it, Mr. Glickman, . . .  this is more about bad-mouthing cops
than anything else.   Are yo always this big a bonehead??

Yes, I'd never live in a city.

You may well be correct about it being a statute, but you're not correct
about it being enforced.  I've never seen or even heard of anyone being
written up for blowing their horn.

This ordinance is -Enforced- in the City of Chicago, and may explain
why it is so delightfully quiet.

Which Chicago are you talking about?  I was in Chicago, IL on vacation
just a couple of years ago and it was anything but quiet.  That was my
last vacation there as well since I'll never spend another dollar in
Chicago after the Meigs act of terrorism.

Chicago Illinois.
I don't go downtown that much, because the traffic is bad all the
time.  But people tend to lay-OFF the horn business because the
Chicago PD Traffic Cops are tough as nails, and don't take any sh.t
from anybody, so the net result, is *pretty damn quiet for a city of
this size.*

It is even more quiet in the burbs, where I live.  I'm lucky if I hear
1 horn beep in an entire day.

As far as *trouble*/terrorism is concerned, this does happen to be a
bit of a rowdy town, but so is Scranton Pennsylvania.  Anywhere you
find a lot of blue collar beer-swilling people around, you're going to
find a bit of mischief.  For the most part, the worst you end up with
is a bloody nose.  The only people I know of that _deliberately_ go
looking for trouble are , eh......

hmmmm.  Gang member, of which there are 50,000 in the Chicagoland
area.

Those are the guys you want to watch out for.  The mokes from the
mills are pretty good folks, all said.  A scuffle here and there is to
be expected on a friday or saturday night when the guys get loaded
with their favorite brew.

Otoh, with the gangsters, ah.....
well just stay away from them.  If you know the city, you know that
the *core* is safe.  Go anywhere else, do so with a local who knows
the territory.

I've lived here for 30 years, and is it a Miracle I am still alive
with all my fingers and toes intact?  No.  I just know where the
danger zones are, and stay away from them.  And If I -do- have to
travel through them, I am handing out Courtesy like it is going out of
business.  That's one thing gangsters appreciate, a little courtesy,
as they usually spend their life in hell, and it is nice to hear a
kind word from time to time.  That will buy you a LOT around here, in
Chicago.  A little _courtesy_.  In fact, it can stop a robbery in its
tracks.  Courtesy is what you want to have in your pocket, not mace,
not a gun, not a knife, _courtesy_.  That will disarm all but the most
*rabid* of drug addicts.

It is a good city with a lot of good people.

I don't worry about the blue collar folks, it is the politician
terrorists that I despise.  The one's that rip up airports in the middle
of the night.  Chicago has long been one of the most corrupt cities in
the US and the current mayor is adding to that reputation.

Operation Graylord proved that this city is infested with corruption,
and since then, things have not gotten any bettery.  Even former
Governer Ryan is under indictment for taking bribes for Truck Driver's
Licenses.  

The political / legal part of this place stinks to high heavens.  True
enough.  Not enough space to describe all the corruption.  But then, I
try to stay as far away from that end of the spectrum as I can, and
just live a life for whatever it is worth, while I have a few years
left to me.

I'm 60 now, have at best +/-15 more years, maybe a lot less,
considering some *conditions* and infirmities I have, and don't want
to spend them in anything other than peace and tranquility, in my own
little piece of the burbs.  I live on a relatively quiet street, most
neighbors get along, good enough for me.  I like it here.  It's home.

Not to mention that

1) There's no such law in my state and
2) By the time Larry woke up, the cop would have turned on his lights
and gone around.

your internet connection doesn't work that way.  Your ISP's TOS has a
clause that allows disconnecting you for being an a.shole.  So, keep
being an a.shole and you'll be an internet-free a.shole.

Don't believe me, email your ISP and ask them about it.  Tell them some
stupid <insert favorite racial slur here> on usenet are causing you trouble.

Another JERK heard from.

If you take everybody of the Internet that uses offensive language.

www.stormfront.com
and
www.vanguard.com

should have their websites yanked fortwith.

Do you think I should send a notice to their ISP?

Let me know, and I will be sure to follow your instructions to a "T"

You know, I really shouldn't bother to reply, but you just don't have a
 clue, do you?  YOUR ISP (like most) has an acceptable use policy
covering flame wars/racism/off topic stuff and a whole whack of other
stuff that covers their users.  You piss off enough people with that
little attitude of yours and you might find your access cut off.
