1997 Opel Sintra Service and Repair Manual

Opel's American-built people carrier, the Sintra, reached European showrooms for 1997 as a European-market version of GM's U-body minivan, built in Doraville, Georgia and related to the Chevrolet Venture and Pontiac Trans Sport. Offered in GLS and CD trims, it used a 2.2-liter 16-valve petrol four or a 3.0-liter 24-valve V6 with front-wheel drive and sliding rear doors. European engines and equipment make it quite different under the hood from its US cousins.
