2004 Acura TL service manual on PDF?

If anyone has got this service manual on PDF and would be able to send it to me, let me know... I found one up as a torrent, but no one is seeding it.

Chances are that version is missing 102 pages, like every other pirated version I've seen.

My advice to you (and anyone) that plans to tackle a few DIY procedures: buy your own service manual (hardcopy or CD) from helminc.com.

I know of a website that has the full pdf manual for the '04 TL, I use it sometimes. Let me just try to find it ...

That's the owner's manual. I believe he wants the service manual.

You can access the 2004 -2006 Manual at: http://www.hondahookup.com/manuals/?...6%20Manual.pdf

It's a scanned copy, with a few blank pages but does cover full TL maintenance.

I just ordered a clean copy from from helminc because a bunch of the blank pages are in the middle of the harness diagrams.

Once you're allowed to PM, hit me up, or post your email address here if you feel comfortable with that.

Just buy a copy from helminc.com

For an 04 it's only $50 or so. Well worth it considering the money it will save you. And having a book you can flip through while working on the car is much more convenient than using the computer.

Try eBay. PDF format and it looks like it's laid out really well. Searchable and linked. I bought one a few years ago and, like nfn said, it's missing ~100 pages in the electrical diagrams.

I prefer the PDF format since I can copy it to any PC and even carry it with me in case I need to look something up at work. I have a PC out in the shop so I can pull up instructions as I'm working. Also, I can print off sections and not worry about getting my ONE copy dirty or torn. Just toss the pages out when finished. It has come in handy while removing my transmission this weekend to get to my rear main seal.

I have one, the file is rather large though. Not sure how I'd get it to you. I could burn it to a CD and mail it to you I guess. PM me with your info if interested.

The free pdf of 2004 TL Helms service manual including pages 22-335 to 22-534 is located at(freeservicemanuals.net)just put in the search box acura. It is a 6part rar file. The file is called Acura TL 2004 Helms Service Manual - Ultimate Edition v67.pdf
It is large because it includes extras: Parts Catalog, 2004 accessories, service bulletins, service news, tech line summary articles, job aids, questionnaires, parts information bulletins, tech2tech video links, and Material safety data sheets. Notes and corrections are included in blue.

It is only missing pages 23-1 to 23-12. If anyone can scan those 12 pages, then it can be included in next version.

Thumbs up

So I just looked up the service manual on Helm but I found two variations:

Qty
2004-06 TL Service Manual
Price: $56.50 In Stock
Pkg Qty: 1
(English, Paper, 61SEP02)
Click here for detail

Qty
2004-2005 TL Service Manual
Price: $52.00 In Stock
Pkg Qty: 1
(English, Paper, 61SEP01)
Click here for detail

Which of those would be the one? I've got a 2004 TL base with navigation and these two manual numbers (the "61SEP01") don't correspond to anything I'm finding in my VIN....

Also, I found a bunch of other manuals, like the electrical troubleshooting manual, etc. Do I have to get any of those if I want to get the complete manual (for my DIYs)? I just don't know if the top two choices I copied and pasted are all-inclusive, or if there are smaller sub-manuals that are printed separately.

Gracias!

So.... two years since the last post and it looks like all the above links are dead or go to some spam website.

I'm looking for a complete service manual for a '04 Acura TL. I'd like it to be in PDF searchable, and not missing the 100 or so pages of electrical (I found one that's a scan, missing the pages, and I need pages 22-439, 22-440, and 22-445 (the HandsFreeLink pages).

I don't mind paying a few bucks for it, just don't want a $30/month subscription for something that I'm going to use once a month in my garage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Excellent! $21.99 for the download, another $5 if you want them to send you the disks. Well worth it IMO.

Thanks zeta!

If you want it for free you might find one on this forum using the search function; otherwise, $21.99 will get you a 'download' on the link below:
