I am looking at purchasing a repair manual. Not being a mechanic, but just a "diy'er", can anyone recommend either Chilton or Haynes over the other....regarding being easiest to understand and with some good illustrations to help make some of these projects easier?

Thanks for the input.....deeply appreciated!!

 

search for the volvo vaids on here it is the best repair manual out there.

 

Vadis? Is that something that the general public can have access to, either online or in written form, or is that a "dealer only" type thing?

 

Here is the link to the thread of the Vadis.

You have to download it via torret file. This will show you by make, model, year everything about your car including parts to buy and which tools you will need. If you need any help setting it up just contact me. I will be glad to help.

I have a 2000 Volvo S80 that I just got and with the Vadis I am able to do all the repairs myself. It will show what each code means and how to correct it.

No more letting the shady mechanics get a bite out of me...lol
