1.0 out of 5 stars this book is not for honda crv 2001, October 10, 2005

This review is from: Honda Civic and CRV, 2001-2004 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)

I was mislead by the title of this book. I expected it to cover honda crv 2001 as the title suggests, but brief look into the book showed that both engine layouts in the book do not match my car. Also cabine air filer installation was different too. I didn't check the rest.

My experience with this Chilton's type of books they are not adequite even to install security system, since electrical layouts in these books are very schetchy (I am talking about Chilton's Odissey-crv book I got later). They don't even have layout of stock radio, which is probably the most common type of work done. What's the point in buying them then? I wonder if anybody uses this type of books for engine overhauls. If it is as bad as their electrical layouts, what is the point to include that section?

Amazon did poor job as well by not refunding me shipping charges for the book, while I clearly indicated that the book is not about what it claims it is. I guess this is the last Chilton's book I purchased, since the web is much more complete source of the information, for something which is not trivial just get the official shop manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly the same as Hayne's Manual., March 31, 2007

This review is from: Honda Civic and CRV, 2001-2004 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for information on changing brake pads for a 2001 Honda Civic DX. It has the information I was looking for. (NOTE: I haven't actually done the work yet so I can't comment on the quality of the information) At the same time I ordered the Hayne's Manual for my model thinking it would be good to have two different sources of information. Revieweing both books I found that the text and photos are exactly the same in both books. They must be published by the same company. So don't bother purchasing both. (NOTE: As a tribute, I am posting the exact same review for the Hayne's manual.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately, not accurate, December 6, 2007

This review is from: Honda Civic and CRV, 2001-2004 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)

I bought this just to be disappointed. Every car has a list of common problems that pertain to pretty much all of them. This book doesn't mention a single one. Squeeky clutch? nope! rocking driver chair? nope! Fuel filler door not opening? not there either. And these are VERY common in 2001-2002 civics. I have a manual 2001 civic dx. This book doesn't even show you how to replace the transmission fluid correctly. The screw they show in pictures is not the transmission fluid drain plug. I also bought this book to fix my back brakes (shoes). Sure, there is a step by step instruction with pictures, unfortunately it's all wrong, why? when you remove the drum, the whole shoe assembly is behind the bearing hub. They never show or tell you that it's supposed to be removed, yet on their pictures it's mysteriously gone! They fail to mention that it's very hard to remove it, and without removing it, you can't just "pop" everything else off just like that. the bearing hub is in the way and it's hard as hell to replace those brakes with it in the way.
