2008 Chevrolet Aveo5 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2008 Chevrolet Aveo5 covers the hatchback in LS, LT and Special Value trim, all of them running the naturally aspirated 1.6L DOHC inline-four of 98 cubic inches. Because there is only one powertrain to describe, the engine sections give a single set of specifications, clearances and torque values, and the diagnostic procedures for fuel, ignition, cooling and emissions can be followed straight through without checking which build the car in the bay happens to be.

Known issues on the 2008 Aveo5. A single recall covers this model year: the daytime running light module in the center console can generate heat, melt, and cause a fire. Owners have submitted 163 complaints, the largest group about air bags at 51, followed by the electrical system at 36 and exterior lighting at 19. Restraint and lighting work both begin with circuit diagnosis, and the manual supports that with wiring diagrams, connector and ground locations, component testing procedures and the specifications those tests are measured against.
