Types of Online Repair Manuals part 4
Part 1: Generic Manuals | Part 2: Generic Manuals | Part 3: Vehicle-specific Manuals
In the previous post, we've talked about those vehicle-specific manuals that are particularly suited for those who seek in-depth information about particular vehicle makes and models. The devil is in the details, as they say—and DIY auto repair is all about details. After all, you won't want to be removing a certain component when you're supposed to be working on another. That's only going to mess up your ride even more.
Of course, this type of online repair manual isn't limited to just those tried-and-true manual books that come with gadgets, computers and vehicles. You can also get vehicle-specific information from online documents and articles from websites. All you need to do is to filter your search so that you can tailor-fit your Google search results to match your ride's year, make and model information.
Once you have your search results, you can filter them further by looking for specific types of file formats. Manuals and similar documents can be in Adobe document format (.pdf) or text format (.txt). Some are even zipped to be compressed (.zip, .rar). You can also refine your search by limiting the search terms to include only the system or component that you need to work on for your next DIY endeavor.
Pro tip: Remember to have your computer's firewalls up to protect you from malicious files like trojans, viruses and malware when you download seemingly trustworthy documents and files from the Internet.
In the future, we'll go into more detail about vehicle-specific online auto repair manuals. In the meantime, we'll just head on over to the next type of online auto repair manual on our list. We'll be discussing diagnostic and troubleshooting tools in the next post, so watch out as our Types of Online Auto Repair Manuals series continues!

Types of Online Repair Manuals part 3
Part 1: Generic Manuals | Part 2: Generic Manuals
Welcome back to our series on the types of online auto repair manuals! We're now in part 3, and since we've spent the last two parts discussing just one type, perhaps it is high time that we moved on to the next one. Today, our focus will be on vehicle-specific manuals.
Vehicle-specific manuals are those that cover the technical data of a particular vehicle make and model from a particular model year. These online car repair manuals provide the right kind of info for those that are having issues specific to their car model.
Such online vehicle repair manuals provide a wealth of information when it comes to the particular model's common problems, along with diagnosis and troubleshooting of known issues. In addition to that, there may also be vehicle-specific solutions provided or suggested by the publisher itself.
What you can bank on when it comes to vehicle-specific manuals is that these provide information that is unique to your vehicle's make and model. That is, you'll be getting accurate data about your vehicle—from where this or that part is specifically located to which components are actually included in a certain system within your ride. This way, there won't be any confusion when you need to deal with a certain part or system, and you'll know that this part is really what you need to replace or fix.
We'll continue this discussion in the next part of our Types of Online Repair Manuals series of posts. We've got loads more in store for you, so make sure you check back in to learn more about the available online car repair manuals. Stay tuned for the discussion only here at Repair Manuals Online!
