Haynes offers the best coverage for cars trucks vans and SUVs in the market today.

Each manual is written and photographed from hands-on experience gained by a complete teardown and rebuild of the vehicle. The first Haynes manual was written this way 40 years ago and all the manuals continue to be produced this way making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair information.

5 out of 5 stars Better than nothing but the Bentley books are way better   October 27, 1998

This is a thick book with most of the information you need. However there are no good drawings and the photos don't help too much. They try to cover too much and are not organized enough. I don't think telling you how to take apart and put together stuff is enough. Diagnostic tips, like the Bentley manual is what you need. However, this is alot cheaper.


2 out of 5 stars Not very helpful.   November 23, 2009

Haynes repair manuals used to be essential to any car enthusiast. Back when cars were simpler, such as when MG's and Triumph's were still being made, you could count on a Haynes manual to give you step by step instructions on most any repair you needed to make. Now, cars are much more complicated, yet Haynes still tries to keep their manuals the same size. A one inch thick manual for an MGB is rather comprehensive. A one inch thick manual for a BMW is too vague to be useful. And in this case, they are trying to combine two very different models (the 3 series and the 5 series) into that one inch space. Many of the instructions given are simply generic advice that aren't the slightest bit specific to BMW.

I can't see much value in Haynes manuals anymore. Bentley manuals are much more expensive but it's money well spent. At least you'll get advice beyond, "to install new part, perform the reverse operation".



1 out of 5 stars Written for the mechanic that fixes everything with a hammer   July 22, 1998

The writers assumed that the reader wouldn't be able to handle anything more difficult then an oil-change or brake-shoe adjustment. Doesn't include meaningful schematics and recommends that you take your car to the shop if having air-conditioning problems. When confronted with taking out the car stereo from the dash it recommends that you buy the "special tool" needed to do the job (you need a metric allen wrench, but you won't find that out by reading this book).


1 out of 5 stars Buy another book. Any book.   December 11, 2002

Where can I start - I bought the Haynes manual to do some work on my E30. The book has two main problems - it doesn't contain the information you need, and some of what little information they bother to include is just plain wrong. It's the sort of book to put on the table in your reception area, if you're a dentist, where people will be so angry after reading a little of it that they'll forget their fear.

If you're thinking of buying the book, here's what to do: Decide on the jobs you need to do, try and figure out from the book whether it tells you how to do them or not (it won't); then buy something else. I'm tempted to go into detail, but really, everything in the book is tackled in such a superficial and unhelpful way that there's no one area I can spotlight. But I'll just note one of the deliberate errors.

If you need to change the water-temperature sensor which tells the engine management system how hot the engine is, just follow the instructions, using the picture provided. They're very specific about which is which... but you'll end up removing the sender for the water temperature gauge. How the guys in the parts department will laugh when they spend hours scratching their heads, trying to find a match for it.

Good luck
