The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Everything went just as expected. Good experience thanks for being so prompt.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt covers two bodies, a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe, in Base, LS, LT and SS trim, with two engines behind them: a naturally aspirated 2.2L DOHC inline-four of 134 cubic inches and a supercharged 2.0L DOHC inline-four of 122. The supercharged four is what makes this book wider than a compact car's usually is, because induction, fuel and cooling procedures have to be given twice, once for each engine.

Engines covered

  • 2.2L inline-four (134 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, supercharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • Base
  • LS
  • LT
  • SS

Known issues on the 2005 Cobalt. Six recalls sit on the federal record for this year. Two concern the ignition: the key can be withdrawn with the switch out of the off position, leaving the car free to roll away, and the switch can be knocked out of run by weight on the key ring, cutting power to the air bags so they do not deploy in a crash. A third covers sudden loss of electric power steering assist while driving. The 1,649 complaints follow the same lines, with 1,137 on steering, 180 on the electrical system and 53 on the power train, all systems this manual diagnoses circuit by circuit.
