3G TL service manual 2004-2008 Acura TL sharing with all

i have in pdf format the entire service manual for our awesome 3g tl's if anyone wants one i do not mind sending one to you guys to share with the community. i am not selling trading bartering or accepting any forms of service or trade off for this as i dont want to break any rules. i wont turn down a mutual gift from anyone though lol but like i said im not asking for anything for this im just doing it because i know its rare to find free and expensive to buy. just giving back for all the great advice everyones given me over the years.

I think they're already around here somewhere. You're best off using some kind of file hosting site (Google Drive, dropbox, etc) to hold it there publicly and then post a link here.

I tried doing this for a fellow member not too long ago but it was too big to send through email, so it is easier to use Dropbox

Indeed the Helms Manual there is password-protected. The other two are fine. I wonder if the password is known.

I've been thumbing through it without issues. Where are you getting a prompt for a password?

Right-click, properties, unblock, apply, OK?

EDIT: It's accessible without a password seen in second pic, what else do you want to do with it?

Ha, funny. Acrobat indeed opens it just fine. I was using a different client on Linux, and there it wanted a password just to open it. Thanks.

I see, performing a conversion now to remove the "security," will post back if successful.

FYI - The 04-07 is "secured" as well.

Special thanks to MonkeyTrucker for converting to a version with no password. I've uploaded new copies to the Dropbox. If anyone has newer versions they'd like to share, PM me!

thanks....just worked for me on Dropbox. btw, still working on that DRL problem that you sent me the electrical diagram for. I think that the module up under the dash has a bad connection. I may just live with it since getting in there with my back is almost impossible. Thanks for the download!

Yes, I would love to have this manual. Just purchased a 2005 TL Base 6MT and will be doing a lot of work on it, mostly cosmetic and a shop manual would be very helpful. luvernm@hotmail.com

'04-'07 - Text Searchable & Reduced File Size

Much thanks to thoiboi for the file!

I downloaded the 2004-2007 service manual and made some enhancements. It is now text searchable and the file size is greatly reduced. Here is a link if anyone is interested.

'07-'08 Acura TL Service Manual Request

Hi my fiend. I was looking online and the '07-'08 TL manual is over $200, but I was willing to pay. I looked and noticed that they ate it off stock. I'd gladly pay you for the pdf copy. Just let me know your price. My email address is Mikeandjo2016@gmail.com.

2008 TL - Torque Spec for VTEC Spool Valve Assy?

Hi,
I downloaded the the 2004 TL shop manual ( the 2008 wasn't available) a few years ago and really never used it. The car is a daily driver and has been rock solid. I now have the P2647 dtc and purchased the Spool Valve Assy from Bernardi's for $160 including shipping - local dealer wanted $220 including tax.
My question is regarding the torque spec on the 3 bolts holding the assembly to the block. In the 2004 manual it is 12 ft-lbs. I would assume it is the same for the 2008 as well - but I'd rather not be guessing! Can someone please confirm the correct torques spec. Thanks so much!
