2009 Chevrolet Aveo Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo keeps the four-door sedan and the three-trim ladder of Base, LS and LT, with the 98 cubic inch inline-four — 1.6 liters, double overhead cams, naturally aspirated, gasoline — as the sole power unit. What a technician gets from that consistency is a book without branches: the engine, transaxle, suspension, brake and body sections each describe one configuration, with the specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic procedures given for it.

Known issues on the 2009 Aveo. A single recall is on the federal record. Brake fluid that does not protect against corrosion was used, and corroded valves inside the anti-lock brake module can slow their closing motion, lengthening pedal travel and cutting braking performance. Complaints number 169, led by the electrical system at 41, then the engine and engine cooling at 24 and the suspension at 21. Brake hydraulics and anti-lock diagnostics, cooling system service, and the wiring and suspension procedures with their torque values are all set out here.
