2008 Holden Barina Service and Repair Manual

Two different noses appeared on the 2008 Holden Barina. Early cars were the original Australian-market TK, while the MY09 update released in August 2008 reworked every panel ahead of the A-pillar, added side airbags as standard, strengthened the B-pillar and brought the hatchback cabin up to the sedan's newer dashboard. Three-door and five-door hatches and the sedan all kept the 1.6-litre twin-cam four. This service and repair manual covers the 2008 Barina with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules, which matters when body, lighting and trim parts differ within the same year.

Known issues on the 2008 Barina. The 2008 Barina was built for the Australian market and never sold in the United States, so NHTSA holds no recall or complaint records for it. The manual's body, airbag and electrical procedures help you tell the pre- and post-update cars apart before you order parts.
