I have a 96 Accord EX (4cyl), and have found some service manuals online. My chasis is CD5, but I can only find CD7-CD9 manuals.

Aside from the obvious, how different can it really be?

I am not doing engine overhauls or anything too complicated. I mostly do the simple fluid changes/brakes/etc.. Gonna be attempting timing belt/water pump, but I will use the excellent thread on here as a reference for that.

 

the only real difference between CD5 and CD7 is the CD7 is a coupe and the CD5 is a sedan. So it should be fine. Quick note, DO NOT post a link to said manuals. They are copy written and are not allowed to be posted.

I'm not sure what I CD9 is, I thought the Japan 94-97 Accords were CD6 and CD8 so...

Also, for routine maintenance you could probably get away with a Haynes manual. But for other things, it's best to buy a Helm manual. They are more expensive but they are more than worth it, it will pay for itself after just one job because of the money you saved not having to pay for labor fees at a shop.

 

I have a haynes for my now deceased 98 civic, so I will use that as well.

I'm not sure what the CD9 is.

Thanks for your input.

 

I know this Thread is super old.... however to add info the cd3 is the Japanese specific Accord in 94-97
