carfiche.com rocks! How can I help? Donate a dollar(or more!) via the paypal donate link.
Why do you take donations? Because nothing is free, espicially bandwidth.
Why don't you have fiche or a manual for XXX car? This is all we have. If you have a manual or fiche in electronic format
please contact us. We'll gladly take it and give it a home.
If I let you borrow my manual/fiche can you digitize it and send it back to me? No.
How come some things on carfiche.com are sometimes not available? The availability of service manuals is randomly changed once per hour.
Each manual is assigned a percentage of time it can be available based on a
number of factors. Some manuals may be available 5% of the time while
others might be available 90% of the time.
Check back after the top of the hour and the manual availability will shuffle.
TnA? Not that TnA! Temporarily not Available. The manual/fiche you are looking
for is TnA. Check back after the top of the hour and a different set of
manuals will be available.
What are those funny abbreviations like sw20 and j30? Manufacturer's model designation.
How do I use the microfiche? You click on the "How to use the microfiche" link and read the instructions.
Why are the images so small and unreadable? They're not. Click on the image and it gets bigger. It's magic.
Service manual questions:
Tell me about the manuals please. Some are factory service manuals, some are not.
Some are better quality than
others. Some cars are purple. Some dogs hump your leg instead of another
dog. If you email us to complain about the quality of this
free stuff we just won't care. Even if you do have valid reasons for
emailing us, your email will probably get filtered as spam and we'll
never see it. We do see all emails coming from paypal
telling us that you have donated though, so that's a good
way to ensure that we read your email.
