Manual

Jul 22, 2003 5 Replies

Dear gang, I am trying to find an after market service manual (Chiltons, ETC,) for my 02 camry. I have'nt been able to find one at book stores/amazon. Is one available? I don't think I want the "toyota shop manual" because I am not that advanced. Just doing simple repairs/maintence.



Thanks.

I have searched thoroughly for the Chilton manual and the Haynes manual both on the Web and in stores, and I can say with certainty that none has been published. Not sure why they haven't published one for a car as popular as the 2002 Camry, but let's hope one will be forthcoming. The Toyota shop manual consists of two volumes and costs more than $100.

The information contained in a single focus factory manual will far exceed the general overviews of a multi brand book such as Chilton and Haynes. It is *worth* *it* to have the specific Camry manual for your year of car when you anticipate needing diagnostic codes, wiring harnass diagrams, A/C - heating diagrams, and transmission information. $100 bucks for both books is a pretty fair (common) price.

I am very basic in what I plan to do. I have'nt changed the oil or been under a car in 20 years. I am just looking for the basics of maintenence and most basic repairs. I have read the factory manuals can be difficult to follow for people in my situation as they are so advanced. Is this true?

Thanks.

Then in all probability, a Haynes book would suffice.
