Subaru Legacy (00-09) & Forester (00-08) Haynes Repair Manual (USA) (Paperback)

Very helpful and so far accurate.

I just got a new manual for my vehicle. And upon reading some reviews I’ve noticed a few things that people don’t seem to think about or realize. When they give you details and instructions onto how to do the things sometimes you will have to go and look up how to do something else first to be able to get you the parts that you need to repair. And it will tell you in there to see section whatever on how to do this before you can proceed to continue on with the repair that you are working on. There’s no point in them doing the teardown instructions 20 times for one thing when they can ride at once and then tell you elsewhere to come and refer back to that teardown . So it’s important to learn how the book is put together and how to read through it and once you do that these manuals are amazing and I have used them for years for all my vehicles that I get and never had an issue. I highly recommend these manuals .

Good for breaking down the work, but sometimes visuals are hard to follow and you have to scroll through soany chapters to read different parts to get one fix instead of repeating information in that chapter so all the instructions are in one place for the fix.

Had the info need for my brother and

2004 legacyGreat book to supplement online resources.Sometimes it's best to have a paper resource on the bench while you work.

I have bought Haynes repair manuals, that are available, for every vehicle owned by myself, and other immediate family members, have never been disappointed yet.

I've used Haynes manuals over the years and always thought them to be one of the better non-manufacturer manuals.I recently purchased this manual so I could maintain my 2008 Legacy 3.0R Limited and was disgusted to find on the inside cover that it didn't include any six cylinder specific information. It would have been great if that fact had been advertised in Amazon's listing and even better if it'd been on the cover of the book. Now I have a book that will be largely useless for anything that involves the engine or is specific to the 3.0R model.As another reviewer noted, the book is overly broad and covers too many models and years. Photographs and diagrams are frequently not helpful or missing and I found myself using my iPad to research tasks which should have been clearly described in the book. A good example of this is something simple like changing the cabin air filter. The book has you hopping back and forth looking for information, but never clearly shows the information.The paper quality is a bit on the cheap side, but given that it's destined to be stained by greasy fingers, it shouldn't matter a lot.I used the book to prepare for a front strut change and the book was helpful. I'm still not a huge fan of the picture quality, but they got the point across.

I'm so glad. This book helped me replace my headlight bulbs. Fortunately I didn't have to have them professionally done.

This is a typical Haynes workshop manual but written for the USA market. Once you get used to the slightly different terms (like lug nuts instead of wheel nuts) it is straightforward to use. A softback rather than hardback but this is unimportant. Lacks some detail in places where it says things like 'dismantle the assembly' or 'assemble the components' - very helpful! Useful torque values and other technical data are incuded.

as described written for American market but easy to understand as you would expect from Haynes only one downside the pages are very thin but if needed copy with scanner then use copy as throw away . so much better to take manual to car than dvd in a laptop I think. 5* all the way.

Seem a little lacking on almost everything I look up, very generic and always end up googling or looking on youtube to clarify info in book. Not to sure I'd buy a Haynes manual again.

All the useful info you could need to suss out issues and help you save money..
