The Aveo is Chevrolet's subcompact sedan and hatchback, built from 2004. Most use a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with a manual or automatic gearbox; later Aveo models were built for Latin American markets.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2012 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “C”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 14 years old, a 2012 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
All Chevrolet Aveo model years: 2004 · 2005 · 2006 · 2007 · 2008 · 2009 · 2010 · 2011 · 2012 · 2013 · 2014 · 2015 · 2016 · 2017 · 2018 · 2019 · 2020 · 2021
