2011 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Chevrolet Captiva Sport specifies smaller displacements than the years before it: a 2.4-liter inline-four of 145 cubic inches and a 3.0-liter V6 of 182, both naturally aspirated, double-overhead-cam gasoline units. The four-door sport utility body continues in LS and LT trim. Those revised displacements bring their own torque values and clearances, so a figure carried over from an earlier year's book will not transfer to this one.

Known issues on the 2011 Captiva Sport. One recall sits on the federal record. It describes what happens when the transmission is held in manual mode in first gear: the engine and power steering pump turn faster than usual, the extra pump speed heats the steering fluid, and after prolonged exposure the reservoir can leak fluid onto hot surfaces where it may ignite. A single owner complaint, filed against the power train, is the only other entry. Power steering service, fluid specifications and transmission control diagnostics are all set out in this manual.
