where can you buy the 07 repair manual? is there a specific one for 07-08, because it's slightly different from the 04-06 model.

preferably an electronic version, as i'm in canada and i don't have to deal with shipping, and it'll probably be less expensive.

obviously, cheaper is better, but i'm asking about legit sources.

I got mine on eBay for about 20 bucks, they send it as a PDF and on a cd. it's great because it's searchable. Just search eBay

Ebay...got the factory manual used for like $35. Much rather have it in book form although CD is convenient.

Upload it and share with the community

i've tried this before with other members, but it's way too big. just easier for people to spend 20 bucks it's worth it i use it all the time

Upload to dropbox and share the public link. Hell I can host it if someone gives it to me.

i don't have enough space on my dropbox to do that, i tried. i think the manual was something like 40 gigs or something

djdonte

I have the factory manual. There's a separate one for 07-08. I don't remember off hand how big the file it, bit its not huge. It has EVERYTHING, trim removal, HVAC diagnosis, you name it. I will donate it if thoiboi will host it.

you8myrice

highly doubt its 40gb

thoiboi

I'm more than happy to put it on my dropbox for all to share! Although I have an 08 . PM me!

pierceman90

If anyone has an 06 PDF service manual and wants to share I would be forever greatful!

djdonte

Sorry guys, with the holiday and all I've been slow, but I have ebeen in contact with Thoiboi and I will get him the 07-08 manual real soon. As for the 06, depending on what you're trying to do, the 07-08 manual might work for you.

*anxiously awaiting the 07-08 service manual*

Ramonski

I bought the Helms manual at Advanced Auto Parts.

djdonte

Its 146mb guys... and the helms manual is good for someone a little less technically inclined. The factory manual also shows you how to diagnose DTCs for the HVAC system without a factory scan tool. Stay posted we should have it up real soon. Also someone contacted me with a 04-06 manual!

thoiboi

PM responded to! Sorry about the delay guys. djdonte, send me your dropbox email address and I'll add you to a folder so you can upload, and then I'll just post the public dropbox folder for everyone to download.

thoiboi

Here you guys go! If you have anything to add, PM me your email address and I'll add you to the folder so you can upload for AZ. If you don't have dropbox, PM me your email address and I'll invite you

^Thank you for the upload! It is a great holiday gift for all of us who like to DIY stuff on our cars.

i downloaded both and they are both for the 04 TL. 04 one works fine, but it doesnt include the lower transmission mount instructions for the 07 transmission(mount is much different than the 04)

LandCruzer94

Thanks!

rick2203

pm me i have a pdf of the 04-06 i believe its all the same anyway

djdonte

07-08 is uploading as I type this.

Yeah!

pearl905

Isn't there a acura website that has a service manual available online to view, I've found it once before but am having trouble finding it again

thoiboi

Service manual =/= owner's manual

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

Service manual and owners manual are two different manuals. I don't get why you put a equal sign like they are the same thing

pearl905

Anyway does anyone kno what I'm talking about and have this info?

thoiboi

≠ < was going for that, Haha! Thought that was a uniform way of saying it. But oh well,

djmonte uploaded the 07-08 one last night and it's up on the dropbox!

pearl905

And here's a link to a post with a link to the service manual. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...8#post14768328 thanks to Ron a for helping me find it.

thoiboi

That happens to be the same one I downloaded and uploaded to my dropbox because that site is very VERY slow and in order to View it online, Adobe usually tries to download a large (if not all) of it. It's labeled 'Acura TL 2004-2007 Service Manual.pdf' in the dropbox folder.

PFloyd

Thanks for the uploads guys, however, just to clarify:
1- The file labeled Acura TL 2004-2007 Service Manual, really is a TL 2004 Service Manual only.
2- The file labeled AcuraTL_2007-08, although it references the correct years, however, it doesn't seemed to be the official Acura TL Service Manual, like the one above for 2004.

Hopefully somebody uploads the official 2007-08 Service Manual.
Regards

djdonte

Is the 07-08 manual not offical Acura? Looked like it to me.

PFloyd

Although, I haven't seen it, I would assume it would have the same format as the 2004 Service Manual. In addition, in the 2007-08 manual that you uploaded, every image/diagram/photo has a footnote that reads: "Courtesy of American Honda Motor Co.,Inc." If Acura/Honda had made that manual, I don't think they would have to thank themselves.
In any case, thanks for uploading it. It definitely is better to have it than not.

This thread should be stickied with the link/post #19 to the OP for easy search

rydjohnson

The 07-08 Manual in thoiboi's dropbox is not the factory service manual. I ended up buying a digital version of the Factory Service Manual for 07-08 TL's (Like the one for the 2004) and will upload it to my Google Drive, and share the link with everyone.

Here's my link for the FULL 2007-2008 Factory Service Manual:

Thanks so much man. I purchased the 04-05 service manual and it's really handy to have a book to flip through the pages.

I just downloaded your 07-08 .pdf file and it is definitely the Acura service manual.

There has to be a easier way to search through all 2600 pages! Ctrl + F kind of works but are there any other ways to search? I tried looking for instructions on how to change the CV axle but when I searched "CV Axle" nothing came up. Leads me to believe that Acura may use a different term for "CV axle".

Much appreciated!
