Which Haynes Manual Do I Need?

[jackbyo]

bit confusing as my ke55 is 1980 but all the haynes manuals I see for 1980 are clearly ke70s

i remember reading that USA had started with ke70s by 1980 so I'm assuming I need the one that looks like the pic attached... is that right?

Is there a difference between the 92030 and the 361? They seem to be the same book but both list the corollas as either 1166cc or 1588cc on the cover which I'm not sure about as I thought the 4k engine was a 1.3 litre

 

 

cheers

I'd be guessing the 1588cc is a reference to the 2T that US-spec cars would have got.

Haynes manuals for Australia have different codes to the US ones (and cover different cars), here we have a Gregorys for the KE55 (1978-81, #184) and the KE70 (1981-1984, #221) a Haynes for the KE70 (1981-1984, #92725), both readily available on eBay. 92030 is the American Haynes manual for the KE/TE 3x/5x from '75 to '79, and 361 just seems to be a slightly different version of the same book.

Yes there is, I posted them up before (#92725 for the Haynes and #221 for the Gregorys). The two numbers you listed originally were for US Haynes manuals, the Australian ones are different.

 

go to the Haynes Australia website and you'll find all the Australian (and Australian-applicable) ones there.

ah yeah i see the haynes #92725 covers the ke70 1.3 litre (4k-c), but there doesnt seem to exist a haynes that is the 4k-c engine in a ke55 body...

I might grab the haynes #92030 for the ke55 body info, and the haynes #92725 for the 4k-c engine info. should be alright

 

 

i've got the gregorys #184 which is quite good but there's a few things it only skims over and I like having plenty of info...

 

what would be great is the yellow books... is there a code for the original toyota workshop manuals by the way? There doesnt seem to be an identifier other than 'yellow books' mentioned in the FAQ

 

thanks!

The yellow books pop up on eBay and the forums every now and then, I had the 4KC yellow book for a while before I did a cleanout of my old KE stuff. Had the KE55 Gregorys book too, it did gloss over a few things but nothing really critical, but then again I wasn't ripping the whole car apart.
