Default Hello from Ontario

I've been to this forum many times and decided to become a member since I purchased an 01 conv last week. My background is an automotive instructor and owner of the youtube channel carquestions which advocates for automotive safety and answers car defect type questions.

Right off the bat it looks like I need some advice. I just bought an OE set of 01 manuals (3) and they are a mile thick but seem to be missing all kinds of information a manual should have like fuel system operation etc. Where can I get the other manuals or do they not exist?

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! Congratulations on your C5!! I don't know what the C5 manuals are like but I can say that my C6 manuals (also a 3 volume set) are woefully lacking, especially in clarity and detail. They are nothing like the manuals from the old days. Enjoy the car and the Forums.
