2008 Chevrolet Aveo Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2008 Chevrolet Aveo adds a third trim to the sedan-only lineup, listing Base alongside LS and LT, while the engine stays where it has been: a naturally aspirated 1.6L DOHC inline-four of 98 cubic inches burning gasoline. The trims differ in equipment rather than hardware, so the difference shows up in the wiring diagrams and interior procedures rather than in the engine, transaxle or brake specifications, which are written once and apply to every car.
