Any good sites that are trusty, or anyone know of any good/working download links? Happy to pay, just not $20-60 for a single day..
It is hard to find good info on service manuals here as it's all 5 years out of date usually.

Bought from emanualonline and they sent a buick manual, it works in the virtual machine to read it but it's wrong manual and they have not replied (yet) with a solution.

I have the detailed GS350/460 electrical service wiring diagram if someone wants to trade. Or a Opel Omega/Holden VE service manual to sweeten the deal.

Thanks in advance!

 

have you checked out eBay?

 

Feel like an idiot for not checking it further, the hard copies are listed there but just saw the pdf one.. thanks!
I'll give emanuals another hour or two to find the manual they advertised and sold (getting the run around now) or I'll try ebay.

 

Looks like emanuals has delivered finally, downloading and will report back as to if it's as good as I hope. 2008-2011 so should be on the money.

 

Thanks in advance for the update on this. I've never used e Manuals so I hope the online version is complete and easy to navigate.

 

It's actually run inside a Virtual Machine.
If that's a problem get the PDF version, I don't think it will be as 'smart' though.

The VM one is better if you want to save time. It remembers where you were and has links you can click through to relevant pages and processes.
So for that it's worth it for me, even though a VM is a little more clunky and harder to access than a PDF initially.

However, on doing the front shocks, which for the 460 AVS is a little more involved (alignment of various additional parts) than a normal shock change, it was useful to quickly skip from various instructions while cross referencing. I see why a shop would use it.
Best part is photos showing you what is needed and torque specs etc. That donate online one is a waste of money, if you can get the actual service manual lifetime for 25 USD from them which is far more complete.
It has everything even TSBs/warranty related stuff. I have not checked electrical side yet but will report back but it does have it listed so would assume it's just as comprehensive.

Cheers and good luck.

 

Post it here if its good.

 

It's 12gb and you need other software too.

 

So to clarify, is this the one that you purchased and recommend?

 

That's the one. Just ensure they give you the right link, I ended up with a 80 something to 98 Buick/F body manual as well for free xD
With the VM you will want to google how to increase the resolution as stock 800x600 is painful for me. From memory it maxed out around 1600x1200 or 1900 or so on my older rig (1440p screen though).

Looking around, the offline paper manual is half a grand. Some places charge this much (emanuals) for a month.. but those are subscribe/online so updated more regularly if you're working on latest cars/developing issues etc.
