Customer Review: Chilton Manuals
When you are desperate and do not have (or cannot afford) a factory manual, you take what you can get. Typically Chilton has adequate wiring diagrams and vaccume diagrams although I have found omissions that will keep you troubleshooting for weeks like an inline fuse. You will not find the detail of a factory manual such as the resistance operating ranges of sensors, computer logic, or a detailed assembly view of a transmission. They have nice sections for aspiring shade tree mechanics such as a body repair, and some basic theory of operation. You cannot expect explicit detail from a manual less than three inches thick which covers a complete historical line of any model of automobile.
Customer Review: Too many cars not enough book.
Chiltons just tried to fit to much into one book. If your going to get a book get one that just covers the Z that you have. There is little to no detail in the interior/exterior part of the book. I was disappointed with this book in comparison to other chiltons books Click for more car care details ...
