2017 Chevrolet Spark Classic Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 Chevrolet Spark Classic documents three trims, LS, LT and LTZ, on a single four-door hatchback body with the naturally aspirated 1.2L DOHC inline-four of 74 cubic inches. For a shop, the appeal of that arrangement is predictability: every figure in the engine and driveline sections applies without qualification, and diagnosis starts from the symptom rather than from a question about which version of the car is being worked on.

Known issues on the 2017 Spark Classic. The federal record shows one recall, concerning a front passenger air bag whose deployment can injure the neck of a young child seated improperly and without a belt in that position. Owners have logged 29 complaints, the largest share on the power train at 8, then the air bags at 5 and the service brakes at 4. Transmission and driveline diagnosis, restraint testing and brake hydraulic service, each with the specifications and torque values it needs, are all part of this manual.
