Title: i30 specific workshop manual
Post by: Pnut on March 23, 2021, 20:55:02

First post, sorry if i get this in the wrong place.

I have searched around but not really found any decent downloadable PDF workshop manual for the 07-11 i30, I see there are a couple of threads on it but nothing definitive that I could find. I have downloaded the owners manual and i am pretty sure the paper copy is still in the car, but i want the workshop one for repairs. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction please?

Never seen pdf workshop manual nor Haynes book for i30. Many of us use PC software.

I did find a PDF manual in Russian, but my english is bad enough without adding another language into the mix  :lol:

Which PC ones are the best?

Thanks, is GDS an acronym for something?

I have one for 2012 2.0 FD. You need sort of a viewer to open it up. I use MHT viewer and works great on my phone. Let me know if anyone  wants it. Send me a message with your email.
Cheers.
