Introducing the new Haynes Manual for a new generation of vehicles. While the traditional Haynes Manual has been a DIY repair staple for over 60 years, today's modern vehicles pose new challenges that require a digital solution.
In the past, vehicles were simpler, and there were fewer models. Now, with over 100,000 variants, electronic systems are integral, and maintenance requires a different approach. Haynes recognized the need for change and embarked on a reinvention of the repair manual. Instead of step-by-step instructions, the new Haynes DIY incorporates workshop data and general DIY tutorials, suited for confident mechanics.
However, the game-changer is the addition of an electronics diagnosis module. Modern cars rely on sensors and control units, and diagnosing issues begins with plugging into the OBD system. Haynes' new tool allows DIY enthusiasts to enter fault codes, follow instructions to test components, and determine likely causes. This goes beyond regular fault code readers, empowering car owners to regain control over repairs. Even if not doing the repair themselves, they'll know the problem when seeking professional help.
It's important to note that Haynes Haynes DIY is distinct from a Haynes Manual, but it empowers countless vehicle owners to maintain and troubleshoot their cars in a DIY setting.
Note: Haynes DIY is a worldwide product. You will sometimes see RHD (right hand drive) or LHD (left hand drive) mentioned. On location diagrams, we sometimes have LHD drawings only; but they do apply to RHD vehicles in a mirror image.
