A book in the Haynes Service and Repair Manual Series

The manual is intended for service center employees and technically trained car owners. Therefore, in some cases, the design of units, mechanisms and systems is presented without unnecessary details, and the maintenance and repair process is easy to understand by reading the text or studying the drawings.
The manual contains detailed technical characteristics of all units, mechanisms and systems of the car and provides recommendations for carrying out maintenance and repair activities.
Getting a simple job done takes a lot less time than having a car serviced at a garage where you have to go twice (after queuing) to pick up the car. And, of course, the most important thing is that you can save money that will go towards paying for the work.
