📕 Haynes 43010 Repair Manual for Technical Troubleshooting Review

2003 Hyundai Elantra GLS. There was trouble finding this book anywhere other than the internet. I'm glad I went ahead and bought it here. It was wonderful in repairing oil leaks. However, it is written like a textbook, which makes it difficult to understand at times.

While the ad and cover promise an updated version that covers 2010 models, there are big things about my 2009 that don't even get mentioned: electric steering, transmission upgrades, and the like. I sent the book back to the seller who accepted the return very quickly. At least the seller kept his promise.

This was advertised for 1996-2010 Hyundai Elantra models and the image shows this is for 1996-2006 models. but actually i got the instructions. for 1996-2001 models and my car is 2002 so this book was a waste of money.

The book speaks of two or three Elantra models, so sometimes I read together and it has a different model than my photo, but the text is correct; just makes it a little harder without the…

This manual contains enough information to help me replace the head gasket on my '99 Elantra. This guide isn't detailed enough to tell you which wrench you need for which screw ;) but it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get the job done. I suggest you have a pen and paper with you and write down any additional steps or details not listed in the book (and there are one or two) as you would in ANY repair manual. There were a few flaws in what should have been on my car's engine (as…

I've used Haynes manuals on about 6 vehicles. Everything is very detailed and informative. I don't know what happened to this particular guide. Firstly, the paper used reminds me of newspaper and is very fragile! You usually use one of these when working on a car. You know, greasy hands and stuff. That doesn't sit well with this newspaper. So be careful. Any chemical will ruin the book! You need to go back to better paper. The images are very difficult to interpret and most of the images…
