Vehicle
Chevrolet Captiva
The seven-seat crossover on GM's Theta platform, and the same vehicle as the Opel/Vauxhall Antara and the second Saturn Vue — three badges, and the Antara name carries the most European diagnosis. The 2.0 and 2.2 VCDi diesels are what most European and Asian examples have, and their timing chain and the vacuum pump driven off it are the two items to establish early: a chain rattle here is a repair rather than an adjustment, and a brake-assist complaint often traces to the same pump.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
