2009 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Captiva Sport treats two engines on their own terms — a 147-cubic-inch 2.4-liter inline-four and a 217-cubic-inch 3.6-liter V6, both naturally aspirated with double overhead camshafts. The vehicle is a four-door sport utility in Base trim only. A spread that wide between a four and a six means different accessory drives, different cooling loads and different service figures, all of which the engine sections specify separately rather than in one table.

• 3.6L V6 (217 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2009 Captiva Sport. What the manual holds is procedure and measurement: engine mechanical, fuel and ignition work for both the inline-four and the V6, the transmission and driveline behind them, brake hydraulic and friction specifications, steering and suspension torque values, and the diagnostic routines and wiring diagrams for the vehicle's electrical systems. Those figures are the reference point when a component's condition has to be judged against how it left the factory.
