I need a FSM for a 97 Q45. Who has the best price for them? Which is better the paper ones or the CD's?

It's understandable that someone might want to buy an FSM, because it's a lot easier to work with a printed FSM in a garage area or outdoors. Not everyone has laptops, or "disposable" desktop computers they can set up in a workspace for their cars.

Printing off an FSM of the size of the one for my '94 might be a little pricy for someone, too. Lots of copy shops cost upwards of ten cents per page, and to be honest, the scans of the FSM aren't all that spectacular.

Understandably, it's nice to have a "bounded book", but lots of guys print just the pages they need for a particular repair and don't have to worry about how greasy they get.

1.) So it can get all greasy and illegible? I don't think so.

2.) Even at 10¢/page for inkjet printers, much cheaper. Laser printers are cheaper still. And one can adjust the size of the diagrams. The later FSM seem to be digitally generated and are of much better fidelity.

Well here's the update. I got the one off Ebay, but I will be using the info I got from you guys here also. Just want to thank you guys so very much and please excuse the questions to come because there's maintenance that's due.

Study the FSM, read all of Q45tech's previous posts including following the links, and if you have any questions then, try searching.

Everything is on this board in one of the three Forum: IG, IOM and Q45.

Were you able to obtain the full siz one or the car owner's bible sized one?

That's right, no bible size ones for FGY33.

But do complete your profile so we can help you better in the future.
