Repair Manual

Post by alwx »

I have a 98 V70, and my wife has a 99 S80. How can I get repair manuals for these vehicles. Are the DVD's on ebay any good, I need something easy to understand with pictures :lol:

The VADIS discs on eBay have a fairly comprehensive repair section for both vehicles. Instructions are clear and photographs/diagrams help.

Check the prices on the US and UK sites. UK prices tend to be lower, most sellers will ship to the US and the discs are exactly the same.

I bought a chilton repair manual for my 99 S80 at O reilly auto parts for $27. Don't know how good it is yet.. Supposed to be in today or monday. And Auto Zone has All Data DIY online manual for it. Or you can buy it from the alldata website. Thats $26. If you get the All data one let me know how good it is.. I bet it would be great, but I hated to pay $26 for something I couldn't actually hold on to.

Well I went to pick up my chilton manual, and it was the Do it yourself, generic manual that goes over basics for someone who was just starting on cars and wanted to change the oil and such. Not what I was looking for.

There is also a Hayne's manual for the UK cars available on Ebay. It covers most of the areas of US cars, but not all. It has some good pictures and directions that are not on the VADIS dvds.
