2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport documents three trims and two flex-fuel engines. The four-door sport utility was sold as LS, LT and LTZ, powered by either a 2.4-liter inline-four of 145 cubic inches or a 3.0-liter V6 of 182, both naturally aspirated and running double overhead camshafts. The two engines share a chassis but very little else, so their mechanical procedures, timing work and cooling specifications are set out independently of one another.

Known issues on the 2013 Captiva Sport. This model year carries 106 owner complaints. The engine is the largest cluster at thirty-seven, followed by the electrical system at twenty-seven and the power train at ten — the three systems that most often turn a running vehicle into a stationary one. The manual meets each with its own material: engine mechanical procedures, timing and torque sequences, and cooling and lubrication specifications; full wiring diagrams and circuit diagnostics; and transmission and driveline service data with the clearances and fluid specifications that go with them.
