Two things:
  1. Sendspace sucks and installs worthless tools on your computer if not careful. It replaces your home page and changes your default search engine. Even when declining acceptance, it will still put the tools on your system.
  2. Secondly, and more importantly, this is a blatant disregard for copyright law and should be removed from this site. I know I will piss a lot of people off by saying this, but just because it is on the Internet, doesn't mean it should be free. A company put lots of money and effort into creating this, and you feel it is ok to steal it and distribute it for free. Unbelievable.

Isn't that the same as you putting illegal tint on your headlights? LOL

Either way, other manufactures actually have them available for free online. It's a book, and PDF of many manuals are available. It's not like it's software and has a key/serial # attached too it.

Lol. Not even in the same realm of similarity. So, you're saying that copying and distributing copyrighted material that a company publishes and sells for over $100 is legal just because it doesn't have a serial number? LMAO. You are hilarious.

What should be most concerning is that the owners of this board could be held liable for not stopping it from being distributed. If the publisher were to find out and pursue, law suits could shut the whole thing down and cost everyone involved lots of time and even more money. Don't even enter this debate with me. I've been in the publishing business longer than you've been able to pimp your ride.

I think if Honda/Acura or HELMS was worried about it they would have not made it available to the public for a fee every month and allow people to download it. LOL

You just contradicted yourself. Why do you think they charge a fee? Wow.

Yeah. People shoplift all the time from stores. Is it fair for the company or business...no, but that's what pockets are for...carrying illegal merchandise.

gotta agree with Hogan. A relative contracts to a "National Snooping Association". Tells me the biggest obstacle for young college grads to get their foot in the door USED to be indulging in a sweet smelling herb. Nowadays that is no longer a big deal-- but woe be unto those who STEAL-- illegal downloads of music esp-- that is asked during the poly, and you won't get your clearanace.

I'm not trying to start a piss match but if it bothers you that much then maybe you should take action. My goodness...Your car can go 160mph indicated on the dash but do you really go the speed limit? Maybe you should tell the police you went over the speed limit. Or I modded my car, now something broke because of it but it's still under warranty. I'll just put it back to stock and bring it to the dealer and tell them IDK what happened but now it's not working...give it a rest man...no one is perfect and laws/rules will always be broken.

Hey guys. I'm new to the community, bought my TL SH-AWD Manual and love every little bit of it. However, its now time for me to replace my timing belt on the TL and dealership is asking $600 CAD for the service manual and is on back-order until May 2016. Does anyone have the full manual or even the timing belt portion of the manual for me to reference? Thanks in advance.

Thanks BartmanEH!!!

This is great! Saves me the money (for now) to do the timing belt. The dealership is asking for $1700 CAD for the timing belt and water-pump. Otherwise its $570 CAD for the timing belt kit in parts.

Do you have any other PDFs on the car, like the Manual transmission clutch section, wiring diagrams, etc.?

Thanks again!

Did you even try the links in this thread? The one in this post works fine. I don't think there's any clutch info in there and certainly no electrical which is it's own multi-part set of Helm manuals.

I tried the links in this thread. All but 1 works and that one leads to the .rar file with some of the pdfs in there. However, the timing belt replacement pdf did not contain any images as someone mentioned earlier. I wish there was something with the clutch replacement in there but its ok. I'll keep looking around and will post back here when I find anything.

Have you done a timing belt on your TL yet? If so, how was it reaching for the different components?

I only have 77k km on my car (48,000 miles) so I'm no where near the mileage to replace timing belt yet. You really should start a new topic for that question as this thread is about service manual information.

Attached is a pic of the matrix.

Also, I've got some of the service manual info requested. The headliner was not small. Once I've got as much as I can by time expiration, I'll upload them. =)


does any one still have this rar file and can reupload it? or direct msg me? would greatly appreciate it
