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.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

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 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt is a three-engine book, and one of the three is turbocharged: the 2.0L DOHC inline-four of 122 cubic inches, joined by naturally aspirated DOHC fours of 2.4L (145 cubic inches) and 2.2L (134). Two bodies carry them, a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan, in LS, LT, Sport and SS trim. Charge-air and boost-related procedures therefore run in parallel with the naturally aspirated engine work rather than replacing it.

Engines covered

  • 2.4L inline-four (145 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.2L inline-four (134 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door coupe
  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2008 Cobalt. Five recalls stand on the federal record for this year. Two involve the ignition switch, one where the key can be pulled out with the switch not in off, leaving the car able to roll away, and one where the switch drops out of run so the air bags will not fire in a crash. Others cover a replacement ignition switch that slips to accessory and stalls the engine, a fuel pump that can leak toward an ignition source, and power steering assist that can disappear without warning. Complaints reach 940, led by 310 on steering, then 185 on fuel and propulsion and 123 on the electrical system.
