2008 Holden Viva Service and Repair Manual

Few changes reached the Holden Viva in 2008, its last full year in Australian showrooms. The Australian-market JF, sister to the Daewoo Lacetti and Chevrolet Optra, still came as a sedan, five-door hatchback or wagon with the 1.8-litre twin-cam four producing about 90 kW, matched to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. It sat below the Astra as Holden's value small car. This service and repair manual covers the 2008 Viva with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules, keeping the sedan, hatch and wagon body details apart.
