And i still miss those old manuals... Just let me fix my car mate
I’llbe 100% honest, bud, but if you can’t find a service manual on the internet or simply ask at the dealership I probably wouldn’t trust you to do the work. They’re available, just try even a little. And boy if you trust what little information may or may not be in an owner’s manual…
Besides, the only reason that info was in there was because the valves needed much more frequent adjusting. You really shouldn’t miss not needing to have that information so readily available.
You can find service manuals online. I found the full blown 1,397 page OEM service manual for my '97 Prelude. For free. And failing that, there's probably a YouTube video for it, especially if it's not something incredibly rare.
You can't, because the previous generations allowed capitalism to ruin consumer goods with regulatory capture and planned obsolescence.
I mean, I'm pretty sure cars' lifespans have generally increased over the years, despite not being able to easily tweak valves or what have you. So many older cars don't have a 6th digit on the odometer because it was so common for a car to die after about 100,000 miles anyway. Now you might hit some issues, but that kind of mileage is basically your car's equivalent of a person's 40th birthday.
Yes, technology does march forward. That doesn't change the fact that many cars you're not even allowed to touch yourself, even the few things you can fix that don't require expensive speciality tools.
Some one made the KEY comment about lawsuits. Today people sue over anything. Like you are so stupid you spill hot coffee on yourself. (coffee is hot) and then blame the people that you bought the coffee from. In earlier days simple logic was accepted and dumb people wouldn't be able to find ambulance chasers to file lawsuits for them. Today "instructions" to guide the dumber people are actually to prevent lawsuits.
Ok boomer
The lawsuits are not about being stupid, theyre about money. Lawyers won that lawsuit, and they didn't do it by being stupid.
