1990-1998 Vauxhall Opel Calibra 3502 Service & Repair Manual – PDF DOWNLOAD
The Calibra covered by this manual was first introduced to the UK market in June 1990. The engine and other mechanical components are based on the Cavalier, but the bodywork has been redesigned for Improved aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of only 0.26, lower than any other production four-seater in the world when it was introduced. This manual covers models with non-turbo petrol engines and fronl-wheel-drive. Turbo and four-wheel drive is available on certain other models.
- The aim of this manual is 10 help you get the best value from your vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what wont must be done (even should you choose to get it done by a garage). It will also provide information on routine maintenance and servicing, and give a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults occur. However. it is hoped that you will use the manual by tackling the work yourself.
- On simpler jobs it may even be quicker than booking the car into a garage and going there twice, to leave and collect it. Perhaps most important, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the costs a garage must charge to cover its labour and overheads. The manual has drawings and descriptions to show the function of the various components so that their layout can be understood. Tasks are described and photographed in a clear step-by-step sequence. References to the ‘left’ or ‘right’ of the vehicle are in the sense of a person in the driver’ seat facing forwards.
- Thanks are due to Champion Spark Plug who supplied the illustrations showing spark plug conditions and to Duckhams Oils who provided lubrication data. Thanks are also due to Draper Tools Limited, who provided some of the workshop tools, to Vauxhall dealer J. Davy. of West Ham, Basingstoke for assistance with vehicles, and to all those people at Sparkford who helped in the production of this manual.
