1998 Opel Sintra Service and Repair Manual

A 1998 Opel Sintra is the European-market minivan GM built in Georgia on the U platform shared with the Chevrolet Venture, but fitted with Opel engines instead of the American 3.4-liter V6. The GLS and CD trims carried on with the 2.2-liter 16-valve petrol four or the 3.0-liter 24-valve V6, both driving the front wheels. It was the year Euro NCAP crash-tested the Sintra and rated it poorly. Because its powertrains and wiring are European, this service and repair manual matters: it covers the 1998 Sintra with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.
