BORGWARD Isabella 1954-1957 Workshop Manual | PDF Download
This is Borgward’s own Workshop Manual for the Isabella, written by the factory in Bremen for its Customer Service workshops. It is a hands-on repair guide. Each job is a numbered procedure with a list of the tools you need, step-by-step instructions and photographs or drawings of the work, plus cautions where it is easy to get something wrong.
It will take you through the engine, clutch, gearbox, front axle, steering, rear axle, brakes, electrical system and body repairs. The factory also includes the specifications and data for each group, so settings and clearances sit next to the job they relate to. The four-cylinder engine overhaul is covered in detail, including the carburettor, fuel pump, oil pump and water pump.
