Review on Haynes General Motors Oldsmobile Silhouette Tools & Equipment by George Marquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good book though not specific

I'm from Mexico and bought a Lumina APV 91 which is an emergency. So I went to PEPBOYS, the first time they had to dump me. Make repairs that I later found out weren't strictly necessary. So I decided that next time I would fix my car myself. I have purchased this book and have successfully repaired: oil change, transmission service, water pump replacement including system flush and thermostat replacement, PCM temp sensor and sensor temp sensor, brakes, full tune, drive belt tension, fuse check, drive belt, engine mounts and transmission. I think I saved. To . in labor costs. The book proved very helpful, although I have to tell you that it's not very specific and I had to ask people more than once when doing this repair. But I think if I hadn't gotten the book I wouldn't have been able to do this whole renovation. The next repair I will be doing is replacing the air conditioning compressor, I think I can do that with no problems. I learned how to replace the alternator and starter and I think I can do it with this book. I would also like to tell you that you are alone with the door lift motors, he has nothing on the matter (I need to work on this and I had to go to the dealer to ask them to print me a detailed view of the door). I have no experience with other books but I hope you find it helpful to share your experiences. Thanks.
