Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

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

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2005 Chevrolet Optra has three body styles to account for and only one engine. The sedan, hatchback and wagon all use the same naturally aspirated 2.0L inline-four of 122 cubic inches with double overhead camshafts, and all were sold in Base and LS trim. That makes the engine, fuel and driveline chapters common ground, while body panels, rear glass, load area trim and the wiring reaching into it are the sections a technician has to match to the shape on the lift.

Engines covered

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

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door hatchback
  • 4-door wagon

Trims covered

  • Base
  • LS

Known issues on the 2005 Optra. One recall stands on the federal record for this year. It describes a splice pack in the instrument panel harness that can melt, leaving the headlamp low beams or the daytime running lights inoperative and the car much harder to see. Six complaints are on record, three of them on exterior lighting and one each on the air bags and the electrical system, the same territory. Harness routing, splice locations, lamp circuits and the diagnostic steps for each are laid out in the wiring section of this manual.
