1999 Chevrolet Metro Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1999 Chevrolet Metro is written for a Base or LSi car built as either a two-door hatchback or a four-door sedan, with a 1.3L inline-four of 79 cubic inches or a 1.0L inline-three of 61 under the hood. Both engines use a single overhead camshaft, breathe naturally and burn gasoline. The manual gives their specifications separately, since a three-cylinder needs its own timing, balance and diagnostic figures.

Known issues on the 1999 Metro. Three complaints have been filed on this model year, one naming the engine and one the fuel system. Both fall inside what the manual documents in detail: engine mechanical work and valve timing, fuel delivery and injection diagnosis, ignition and charging tests, cooling and lubrication service. Beyond those it covers clutch and transaxle repair, front and rear suspension specifications, steering geometry, brake service limits, and the wiring diagrams for the lighting, instrument and charging circuits of both body styles.
