The thing is that having the manual or not is not the problem, is the equipment you’ll need that is hard to get, and not only that, for cars you may only use them once, for that particular car, that particular repair, and it may cost hundreds. Maybe if you keep the car for 15 years and 300k miles you get to use it again.
Same with the equipment you need to do circuit repair nowdays.
Back in the day the boards were simple, big and you could use a $10 soldering iron to fix things. Now a regular soldering iron tip covers 3 components at a time.
- sircastor 4y ago> there are repair manuals for cars that are easily available. Less than they used to be. It feels like the Chilton manuals have dried up for late model vehicles.
- bombcar 4y agoChilton manuals were great but they got killed by YouTube. Haven’t been able to find anything that doesn’t have someone on YouTube replacing it.
- kube-system 4y agoFor late model vehicles, they're also being partially killed by the vehicles themselves being more reliable and with longer warranties.
