2015 Jazz / Fit Workshop Service Manual
Any chance of getting a workshop service manual for this vehicle? It seems Honda does not sell them. Many Thanks!

Has anyone logged into it and checked to see if the pages can be captured for posterity? If they can be exported to a PDF or other format, then I'll gladly pay the $10 for a day and save whats relevant.

Not to my knowledge.

Haynes has a 2007-2013 Honda Fit repair manual for $20. Nothing for the 2015 yet. Here are some FAQs from Haynes. I'd expect the manual to be available mid ~2017.

A: Two possible reasons: either it's too new, or the model range doesn't have enough vehicles. We don't normally produce manuals for vehicles less than two years old. And we can't consider doing a manual until there are enough vehicles on the road for us to cover the costs of developing one of our books(including the complete teardown and rebuild costs that we do before every book, and the time/ money to author and print the books). Q: How long does it take to produce a Haynes manual? A: From the time a vehicle arrives in our workshop to the time the manual is available is about 5 months. Writing a manual takes a team of technical authors roughly 3 months working with our Haynes mechanic during the vehicle teardown and rebuild, followed by production and printing prior to distribution to retail locations. |
Damn... the dealer workshop is a rip-off... I want to know how to change the gearbox fluid for example. I'll have to do it at dealer and they'll charge llike a wounded bull.
I asked why no manual (on my Toyota Starlet the dealer sold me all manuals!) and they said 'so >normal< people can't fiddle with the car'. Lazy, arrogant b*stards... I change the oil & filter myself with genuine at 5,000k but the auto gearbox... and its gotta be done at 40k... Re capturing pages - everything that is displayed on your screen has been downloaded to your PC and can also be screen-capped with PrintScreen... tedious job though... |

Just another example of Honda trying to get your money. I have always had a paper copy of the factory shop manuals on all my vehicles. On goverment projects it is in the contract that service manuals will be supplied. You can probably get a screen print of a page of info but the resolution will be so bad. When you are on the page I bet you will have to zoom to see details of stuff. You might be able to get text of trouble shooting guides. I guess we will have to wait for Chilton or Clymer to come out with one.

I miss the days when I bought, or could buy, the manuals--or, as with our '86 Integra, got it free with the vehicle. But I don't blame Honda one bit. |
Oh, and did you ever see how dirty and tattered the shop copies of the manuals got in the back rooms in the service departments?
|
To be fair, all my computer software no longer comes with printed manuals either. I just wish it was an affordable, life-of-the-car access fee to use the on-line service manuals.

I'd like to have a PDF copy of the shop manual for my Fit just as I have for my former Suzuki SX4, not out of need, but curiosity. :offtopic: |

Proving what, Dick? I've known all sorts of mechanics, two in particular, both equally skilled, one very clean, the other looked like he had just bathed in used oil.

You probably already know this, and don't like it, but I don't think they consider the owner-mechanic a significant part of their market for this service.
The Fit is less than 1/4 the engine, 1/3 the hp, 2/3 the weight, and at least 10 times more complicated. iVTEC, review and lane change cameras, Bluetooth and the list goes on. Not defending Honda, just being realistic. |
No doubt the auto makers are getting less comfortable with all non-dealer repairs, for a bunch of reasons. Example: General Motors, John Deere want to make tinkering, self-repair illegal | ExtremeTech. Example: Automakers to gearheads: Stop repairing cars. Not clear, exactly, why they are so impressed with the dealers. There seems to be huge variability there in results.
