Technical Haynes manuals for later cars

[vexorg]

I was looking at haynes manuals, they only seem to list up to 2012, we have a 2015 pre-facelift.


How different is that to the 2012 models? are their any diffrences?

Hi
The manuals gave less and less useful info over the years..
No rebuilds of electricals or other 'exchange unit' type assemblies.

At leat by 2017 it was mainly 1242cc as they were poor for other engines.

Buy a £5 haynes for a 2010.. then learn to use the forums excellent SEARCH.

MOST inherent panda-500 issues have been covered for a decade

What were you hoping to learn?

Not so much learn, just a reference for stuff like torques, removing panels, etc.

I know they are overly dumbed down now, I'm old enough to have needed haynes manuals with exploded carburetor diagrams many years ago.

They list an e-version, but you really want a paper copy when out by the car.

Apparently 'Haynes' sold out..and new products are just 'electronic'

The things that bug me are like.. when your alternator brushes wear down you are supposed to spend money on a new alternator + 3 hours labour

Fitting + coding

For a £12 part

Ive still got mid 90's manuals for long.dead cars.. as they hold all the 'lost' techniques and info
