Shop repair manual
 
Hi was wondering if any of you guys know of a good repair manual? I need one for my 2001 s60 t5. Thank you.

I just purchased one off of ebay for $17. It is a DVD for a variety of models. I will update you when I receive it.

its called VADIS - available on Ebay as stated above or you can go online and download it via Torrent.

Karnage Oct 29, 2009 06:31 PM

You can also get the Haynes manual on ebay, but it is for the UK version of the car.

Received my disk for Vadis Manual today. Is this software legit?
I have to back date my computer to install.

Karnage Nov 3, 2009 04:53 PM

Prolly not... Same thing that i got.. was wondering if anyone used this software as well to retrieve codes of the car by using the cable???

Is VADIS anygood?
 
Well I finally had time to install VADIS. It took two hours to load onto my laptop and then only after trial and error, certainly not by following the limited instructions did I even get into VADIS. :mad:

Anyways, I could not find anything that would help me for the suspension work that I have planned, i.e. replacing the lower control arms and ball joints. I will probably wing it on my own, but it would have been nice to have for reference. :rolleyes:

Most definately I will have the front end aligned in a shop.

Is this manual any good for this type of repair or am I experiencing PEBKAC? :confused:

Pebkac defined: an IT term used when the "Problem Exist Between Keyboard And Chair. :o

Thanks for your help.

It is DEFINITELY in there (control arm and ball joint). I have personally been present when it was used for that purpose.

I have always heard the term PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer) :P

I've got the same one... Its pretty good but the details usually talk about the UK version of the S60. Basically, its still good because there isn't much difference between the US & UK model....Still worth the money spent for it....

That's what I was hoping for when I ordered it. Seems like the UK S60 is basically the same car as the North America car with just a few more engine choices, including diesel.
