Workshop manual for VY

[mechatron]

Hi guys,

What brand (Max Ellery, Gregory's etc) has the best workshop manual for a VY Commodore? I'm after a hard copy with lots of diagrams and set by step instructions on how to remove seats, dash, console etc. I know you can google these things but I just like reading instructions from an actual book rather than from a smart phone. Thanks heaps

Hopefully I can find a manual that has instructions in this sort of format

brand..??? HOLDEN (do it in your required format, others do not!)

Thanks Smitty, any idea how much Holden generally charge for this manual?

A lot! I know of one in cd format going for about $500!
Or you can find it in pdf and print it off and bind it if you want a hard copy. But there's a lot of pages.

None of the aftermarket ones will be as detailed as the image you put up above.

That one is a bit Craptacular....

Same ones I recently offered "free to good home"..though better than nothing. Reckon they're a ripoff of a Haines manual.

That looks like a digitised version of the Haines manual (just have to find mine to check) so if you are happy with this version and want a hard copy you have an option.

Thanks Smitty, any idea how much Holden generally charge for this manual?

mine cost me $420 + GST

and I reckon that is a bargain compared to the last set of paper manuals Holden did in VT.... 17 books worth over $1,200 !


don't think they are available any more (but they are the best book for your Commodore)
