Books : Dodge Caravan Plymouth Voyager & Chrysler Town & Country 1984 thru 1995 Mini-vans Haynes Repair Manual (Haynes Automotive Repair Manual Series)In association with Amazon.comRating:  - Great book for Town & Country RepairI'll keep this brief. I bought the Haynes and the Chiltons to perform a lot of routine functions on my 1993 Town and Country. The Chilton's had a prettier cover on it but the Haynes had the guts that I always used to get the job done right. Take brakes for example. The Haynes diagrams and explanations made it very easy. The Chiltons were incomplete. Rating: - Haynes manual reviewAs usual the Haynes manual was very good. I made the mistake of purchasing the Chiltons (SP?) equivalent and had to return it. I'd recommend Haynes over Chiltons any time especially for this vehicle. Be aware though, that the 4wd version is not covered by this manual. Rating:  - Haynes Dodge Plymouth Chrysler Mini-Vans 1984-1995This book is very weak on electrical information. It has only partial wiring diagrams and really only covers the most basic of problems. Guess I should have listen to the reviewer that gave the book to his kids... Rating: - Well illustrated, covers all maintenace tasks, most repairThe manual starts with an introduction to the models covered (All FWD models listed in the title, no AWD), tools required, safety advice and a brief trouble shooting guide. Then covers full strip down of engine,transmission, fuel, exhaust and electrical systems. Too brief chapter on body. The comprehensive diagrams and pictures are the strongest point of the Haynes manuals, and make them better than the far more expensive official workshop manuals as far as the average home mechanic is concerned. I have a V6 3.0 liter version, and can vouch for the manual for this model, the torque wrench settings, clearances etc. are accurate. No experience using it for the other engines. The manual does assume some experience for the major tasks like engine rebuilds, but assumes little or none in describing routine maintenance. Rating: - HAYNES IS BETTERIf you are ready to work on your own vehicle, then buy Haynes manuals. Haynes gets specific about how to remove, repair, and repalce with helpful hints and steps. CAUTION: repairing your own vehicle requires some basic knowlege of how your car works. However, common sence can go a long way. This book will not inform a 6th grader how to fix engine problems. This book covers in depth each engine size from 4 cyl to 6 cyl, all different engine sizes from those years. It also states a disclaimer that it does not cover specialty equipment such as All Wheel Drive. |
