Why can't I find a manual for my vehicle?

Two possible reasons: it is too new, or the model range has not sold sufficiently well. We don't normally produce manuals for vehicles less than 2 years old, because for the most part they are still under warranty and being serviced by dealers. And we can't consider doing a manual until there are enough of a particular model on the road for us to be sure of covering our costs.

I can't find a manual that covers my vehicle's engine size?

Engine size data may be published in several formats. For example, an engine commonly called a 1.6 may be of a slightly different capacity - say 1595cc. Similarly, a 1.4 may be 1398cc etc.

If your vehicle's engine size has not been listed in a manuals details it means that it is not covered in a current Haynes manual.

Do your Car Manuals always cover petrol and diesel?

No. However we do cover petrol and diesel versions in one manual when possible. Sometimes the resulting book would be just too big, in which case we publish separate petrol and diesel titles. For certain models, diesel sales are insignificant, in which case we do not cover them at all. Details of the engines covered in any particular UK manual appear on the product page that you see as part of the online ordering process. Please note that US manuals cover petrol models only unless diesel is specified.

Are Haynes stopping printed Workshop Manuals?

We can confirm we have taken the commercial decision to cease publishing any new printed Workshop Manuals. However, we will continue to print and publish our extensive back catalogue of automotive and motorcycle titles.

What languages do you publish your manuals in?

Our manuals are printed in English and we publish a selection of manuals in Spanish and Swedish.
