BEHOLD my New bible
plus its brand spankin new.

after almost 2 years of owning my car, i finally was able to get what i've always wanted. i bought it straight from mazda, with my discount from mazda i got it for 40$ cheaper. came out to be 108$ total with tax and all. plus its the Binder style, wich i get to take pages out from it. i dont have to read flyswat's/sleepcounter's/ and sixsick6's SMART advice anymore now.

comments are welcome...

Definitely a good thing to have. If you're sick of your chilton's/haynes and it's vagueness trying to cover 10 different cars, the mazda workshop manual is for you - it covers only one year and model (mx6/626) of car and is very detailed and accurate.

I have one of these sitting right next to me - I picked it up on ebay WITH the wiring diagram for less than $50 a few years back. There is also a more compact workshop manual in paperback form that includes the wiring diagrams and sells for less.

I'd recommend trying to track down the wiring diagram book as well - the workshop manual pictured above does not include any wiring diagrams. Someone posted a while ago that you can actually by that manual without the fancy binder for a good deal less.

ok slap me for asking but what all is contained in that book?

**DarkDragon** · 7-20-04, 22:24

lol we posted at same time, but now i know what is all in it

It's the book the dealer mechanics look at when they need to work on your car and don't know where to start. It contains step-by-step info on how to remove, dissasemble, and replace nearly everything on the car, and is specific to a certain model year (i.e. 1988, 1989, 1990,1991, 1992) so it is extremely accurate unlike Chilton's, Haynes who try to cover 1983-1996 mx6/626/929/323/protege/millenia all in one book.

as magik said, the wiring diagram isnt included, BUT as for the compact book being cheaper is faulse, it was 20$ more than the binder one, plus when i orderd this manual, it didnt say it came with the binder. said no binder, but my freind at mazda hooked it up.

the binder in the pic is a 12" by 12" in side and 4" thick. maybe the pic istn showing it as big as it should be.

My workshop manual is a large yellow paperback for the 1988 626 and MX-6 that's a 1991 reprint. It has the wiring diagrams section. I got it on eBay for less than $30, and was in practically new condition (no oil, no tears, no loose binding).... now it's oily and in three pieces. Good thing I work at a library. When I remember I can just take it in and have them mend it, lol.
