Its way better then Haynes but I agree that it is not the ultimate manual for home mechanics. It is pretty light on transmission service, saying that the Volvo dealer should do it, and it specifies a lot of Volvo tools. I think they sould have included the procedure for putting new seals in the overdrive. The wiring diagrams are not ledgible because of poor reproduction. The haynes actually has a better section on the overdrive.
It is really good on the fuel injection systems, but even here I could have used more detail. In the brake section some of the things they suggest are not necessary and add a lot of extra work. I suppose they can't suggest shortcuts for liability reasons. Anyway, its better than Haynes, but I have not thrown my Haynes out.
