Hello everybody!

I was hoping I could find someone who has the Service & Repair Manual for our 2002 Dodge Neon in PDF format. It would really help to have this.

If anyone has this PDF, would you be so kind as to e-mail it to me?

My e-mail address is:

Thank you so much.

Everything below is just info about my experience so far with car repair. Probably just T.M.I. for most readers...

My girlfriend's father is a self-taught mechanic and has so far taught me a lot about fixing a car---it's not all that scary once you've spent a few days on it and had your hands all covered in cuts and grease. I've gained some confidence and I think I could get a lot done for our family if I taught myself how to repair some basic things on my own.

I've got a 9-day-old baby boy and a 4-year-old little girl, so we're working on a family, so needless to say, it would be nice if I could get accustomed to fixing our car whenever possible since money is short.

Here's what happened yesterday (Christmas Eve):
My girlfriend's dad and I have been working a lot on her 2002 Dodge Neon. We pretty much gutted the car twice to replace the head gasket and several other things. After putting everything back together, we apparently forgot to put a seal on the engine so it was leaking real bad. We took it apart again and put it back together with a seal on it, but I guess we pinched the seal, so when we left home to visit family (about 5 hours away), we had another oil leak and had to tow the car with a rope for over 240 miles. I was driving the Neon behind her dad's Expedition---I've never had to stare at a rope for so long in my life. Luckily it worked and we made it. After we woke up today, my girlfriend's dad spent some time on the car and found out about the pinched seal.

So that's our Christmas so far! Hopefully we can get the car fixed up now and drive back to Gainesville from Naples after Christmas.

 

By the way, I have a Service Manual for an SRT-4. I'm not sure what year it is for, but some of the diagrams in it resemble our car. I'm just not sure how useful this particular manual would be in the long run. If it is too dissimilar, it wouldn't be much help. The pictures of the SRT-4 engine blocks look somewhat similar to our 2002 Neon, but there are also some parts that look quite different.

 

If you look for a post by darthroush, under his signature there's a link for the factory service manual in pdf for the 03-05 Neons. I use that to work on my 02 and it's great. Good luck!
