2008 Chevrolet Astra Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2008 Chevrolet Astra takes in four gasoline four-cylinders — a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter of 122 cubic inches, two 1.8-liters of 110 cubic inches that differ in valve train, one with double overhead cams and one with a single camshaft, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter — across a four-door sedan and a four-door hatchback. Five trim designations appear for the year: Comfort, Confort, Elegance, Essentia and Sport. That spread shows up in the equipment-dependent wiring diagrams more than anywhere else in the book.

Known issues on the 2008 Astra. No recall has been issued for the 2008 car and no owner complaints sit against it — the federal record is clean on both counts. The book's value is accordingly in its procedures: separate mechanical specifications for the single- and double-overhead-cam 1.8-liter, boost and fuel control diagnostics for the turbocharged two-liter, transaxle and driveline service, suspension geometry and fastener torques, brake and hub work, air conditioning charge and diagnosis, and wiring diagrams keyed to the sedan and hatchback bodies.
