1999 Buick Century (China) Service and Repair Manual

Shanghai GM's very first car was the Chinese-market Buick Century, sold in 1999 as the Buick New Century and built in Shanghai on the same front-drive platform as the sixth-generation American Century. It was a four-door sedan powered by a locally built 3.0-liter pushrod V6, wearing a Shanghai GM badge and a small 3.0 emblem instead of the Century script. Because this China-only sedan shares its shape with the US car but not all of its engine, wiring or equipment details, this factory service and repair manual gives you the year-exact procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules GM wrote for it.
