Greg_E 211 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Does anyone know if Chevy has an official service manual available for the USA Sparks yet? This is one of the things I almost always buy as soon as I buy a car that is worth keeping more than a few years and typically allows me to do things I might want to do (mods. or repairs).

Greg_E 211 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Got word back from my dealer, GM says no manual until around March. Link to post Share on other sites
Widget 36 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I have a PDF copy of the one for the Chevy Beat (what the sparks called in India) if you want a copy of it, I know there will be some differences but will let you have a look anyway. dumindume and Granty 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks but I'm going to wait, nothing that needs immediate work until I decide if I'm going to add driving lights which will need to trigger from the high beam lights. Still trying to decide if I want to cut up the grill to fit the lights and if the lights I want will even fit. Link to post Share on other sites

Greg_E 211 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I found a site that has some information on the Spark/Matiz and on the M300 Spark that may or may not correspond to the USA model Spark. Some of the wiring is defeintitly different based on putting my foglights in so it might only be world versions of the m300. http://chevytis.spaghetticoder.org/ Link to post Share on other sites
Lazerface 24 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 the US Version is here Ive referred to it a few times http://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam/Chevrolet/northamerica/usa/nscwebsite/en/Home/Ownership/Manuals%20and%20Videos/02_pdf/2k13spark.pdf Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Your link is the OWNER'S manual, not the shop service manual with service procedures and wiring diagrams. Link to post Share on other sites
Lazerface 24 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Oh derp We're looking for the FSM :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Apparently this is one place to get the factory service manual: http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?Make=CHV&Model=SPAR&Year=&Category=&class_2=CHV&mk=Chevrolet+%26+Geo&yr=All+Years&md=Spark&dt=&module=&from=result&Style=helm&Sku=GMP13S&itemtype=N notice that the date is now June Link to post Share on other sites
TheMission 8 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm going to the local library and they usually have the service manuals for free to browse while there online... Albeit I bet I'll have to wait until some are released. Bad news for your link though: JULY! Price: $200.00 Item not yet released to Helm from manufacturer. The item will be available on 7/25/2013 Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Probably trying to figure out how to cover up the steering wheel controls problem. joehornback 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Just checked, at least the date hasn't slipped any farther yet. Link to post Share on other sites

bluer101 241 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Now says 10/3/13, this is really starting to piss me off! I agree too. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Checked today and the parts guy said they could not order the service manual, you have to go direct to Helm to order it. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 I just checked and it still says October 3, 2013 so we might actually see this in print some day soon! There is no preorder button on the web page, but I might call them tomorrow and ask. Link to post Share on other sites
psquare75 35 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Im gonna grab one. I have 3 Sparks between mine and my parents cars. Father already has 18K on his, so he'll be the guinea pig. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 And today it now says November 4. I think it may be time to start complaining to consumer protection departments of our government. Also, since we the people still own a rather large portion of GM, anyone know how to contact the GM czar? Link to post Share on other sites
psquare75 35 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think that's a bit dramatic.. I'd howl at the publisher/vendor. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 They claim GM has not released the material for them to print. Link to post Share on other sites
