Etis vs other repair manuals

Featured Replies

Anyone who has an offline etis could you check for me if  any of your images not load or seem to be missing? Mainly for the timing belt section of the 1.5tdci engine.

 

Also has anyone any experience with any other online data repair manual's like Haynes pro or something similar that has a much information as etis?

 

Thanks



I have an old S-MAX ETIS which still seems to work (virtual machine version - massive) AND Haynes manual and Autofix.
Both of them are worth looking at and Autofix is AFAIK the only easily available  DIY manual with any sort of wiring diagrams worth looking at their site but I can't make that decision for you.

I do as it covers many brands but unfortunately not every model. I think the last time l saw etis it had about 2-3 uk models catcar doesn't. But it is an American site but it's free 😂 and still useful even for my old escort.

If you go here:
https://haynes.com/en-gb/car-manuals-1

And follow the prompts to your exact make model, engine body type etc, you get a "Full preview" of the product and can compare with the standard manual (both online products?)

Haynes manuals have really not as much information as they used to have. 

does anybody have an older version of etis which covers the 1.5tdci focus but has all the images and text intact?
