Haynes manuals BLOW. (I would say dead bears, but the last one was moving)

 

You would do better looking out the nearest window, and *thinking* about your vacation, than looking in a Haynes manual for anything more complicated than checking the tires.

In my opinion, Haynes manuals fall somewhere between the two extremes expressed above. :)

 

Common sense should always prevail -- if any procedure in a manual has you scratching your head, check it with another source, including here. We're not infallible (maybe I should speak only for myself :) ), but neither are those who write even the factory service manuals (there are errors, omissions, and unclear language in them as well).

So you don't like them?

As a "new" Subaru owner I found the one that came with the car very useful and surprisingly informative. As a career mechanic, I quickly outgrew the Haynes and hunted down the Factory Service Manuals. :)
