Haynes Manual
The new Haynes Manual for the XC60 & XC90 has just been released for all budding DIY enthusiasts.
It covers models from 2003 - 2013, diesel only. |

Just wondering how one manual can cover two fundamentally different vehicles? Yes they are both made by Volvo and they both have XC in their name but I think that is probably about all they share
That would suggest to me that neither car is covered in the depth or quality that Haynes was famous for in the past and which aligns with the experience I had afte purchasing one for my daughters Renault.

Hopefully there's some useful info in it but I agree, Haynes manuals are it what they used to be, perhaps a reflection of how complex cars are now compared to when I bought my first Haynes manual for my 1959 Moggie Minor!!

I rebuilt my Mini Cooper S in 1974 with a mate and a Haynes Manual. Only car I truly regretted selling.

Goo start
The engine and transmission are basically the same which is a good start

apart from the Haldex being gen2/3 in XC90 and Gen4 in XC60, and then there is 5 speed versus 6 speed gearbox and an engines that have different power outputs I guess they are the same

Reminds me of my rebuild way back in my youth.....got the engine back in but wouldn't start. Tried for days and days and thought I had fudged it all up. Was in a pub drowning my sorrows when someone said - I be you put the distributor arm in 180 degrees out. Laughed at his but when I got home took it out a turned it around....started first go....

Have any of you guys purchased a manual?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151243726513 - £17 including delivery A few of us XC90 owners have, definitely worth having but we feel its more XC60 related than XC90. What do you guys think ? |

Mine was behind the front door when I got back from a week away with the caravan.
It's a bit light-weight and I mean this in the physical sense at 698g. My 240 Haynes is 1030g and my 740/760 Haynes is 1086g!! No idea if it will ever be of any use but it's there.
