Might come in handy when I become a car owner. images/smilies/smile.gif

fbc · July 26th, 2006, 12:18 PM

Not much info on my car images/smilies/sad.gif

bresola · July 26th, 2006, 12:21 PM

WOW

that's great!!!!

Nothing on it about my car though images/smilies/sad.gif

haz · July 26th, 2006, 12:27 PM

fbc and bresola: which cars do you have? I guess fbc has that MR2, no?

haz

fbc · July 26th, 2006, 01:15 PM

^ Correct - is that info in the screenshot specific to the Beetle? For my car all of that information is generic, with only the service bulletins being specific to the car.

It's still quite useful though.

Not a single 2006 bimmer. ONE in 2005...

Haz, I've got a Ford Maverick, if there's something about it there I haven't found. (Not that I've gone throught it all)

I already got a service manual so... 8) but it's a real interesting database anyway! Nice find!! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Dins · July 26th, 2006, 03:22 PM

there's lots on my car, but nothing that's actually useful. But still, quite informative for the inquisitive automotive mind....

bone · July 26th, 2006, 03:31 PM

no opel,
no peugeot,
and no citroën,

the 3 brands i might need info for, aren't listed images/smilies/unsure.gif

)

araracd · July 26th, 2006, 03:48 PM

I guess it's mainly for the American maerket and even so...

Jon · July 26th, 2006, 06:13 PM

For American cars.. images/smilies/yucky.gif

Evo7 · July 26th, 2006, 07:25 PM

Couldn't find one for a Capri. Damn, that could've have been useful for my restoration project.

Gear Girl · July 26th, 2006, 08:08 PM

awsome thanks images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Silverstar · July 26th, 2006, 08:09 PM

My Cavalier Z24 has so many technical bullitens and recalls, that it's not even funny..well, maybe it is images/smilies/lol.gif

This site is great, I'll have to make sure to check on it when I get some problems.

Great one Haz! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

patrick10 · July 26th, 2006, 08:49 PM

five bucks says that theres nothing for eithrer my 240 or 5000 before looking

edit: well everything for the 240 that i looked at was all wrong and there was very minimal info on the 5000 thats not even relevant

Kebab gud · July 26th, 2006, 09:04 PM

My car was never sold in North america ..... with the egine i have that is images/smilies/tongue.gif

so my car is not there

GM_IV · July 26th, 2006, 10:57 PM

From what I found on my car it didn't matter what year my car was since they gathered all Cressida models except the MX-32 and put them all together with the "Van". This gives the impression all Cressidas are very similar to each other but thats incorrect. A MX-73 Cressida has little in common to a MX-83 Cressida, the 73 has more in common with the MA-60 Supra while MX-83 was more in common with the MA-70. The wiring diagrams for the 5M-GE and 7M-GE however look good.

patrick10 · July 26th, 2006, 11:17 PM

ahh a cressy owner images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
