2000 Chevrolet Astro Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Chevrolet Astro covers the van in cargo and passenger form, standard and extended, with one engine underneath all four: a naturally aspirated 4.3-liter overhead-valve V6 of 262 cubic inches running on gasoline. Base, LS and LT are the trims. What varies from one van to the next is body length and equipment, and the wiring diagrams, body panel procedures and component location charts are indexed on exactly those two things.

Known issues on the 2000 Astro. Both recalls on this van's federal record concern replacement parts rather than anything fitted at the factory. One covers replacement fuel filters that can seal inadequately at the connection, letting fuel escape where an ignition source could reach it; the other covers replacement lamps sold without the amber side reflectors that make a vehicle visible from the side at night. Owners have logged 201 complaints, weighted heavily toward service brakes at 62, then tires at 20 and the electrical system at 17. Brake hydraulics, wheel and tire specifications and circuit diagnostics are all documented here.
