Holden Reparatiehandleidingen

Holden's story began in 1856, when James Alexander Holden opened a saddlery business in Adelaide, Australia. The company later moved into carriage building and, after joining General Motors in 1931, produced its first car under the Holden name in 1948. Australian manufacturing continued for seven decades before production ended in 2017 and the brand was retired by 2021. That first Holden, the 48-215 sedan soon nicknamed the FX, became a symbol of post-war Australian manufacturing and set the pattern for the big, robust family cars that followed.

Holden became known for large, well-priced family cars and for the Australian ute, a practical coupe utility body style that became part of national culture. Later ranges included the Commodore sedan and wagon, Commodore-based utes, the long-running Statesman and Caprice, and the Colorado pickup and Trax, Spark, and Equinox models sourced from global GM ranges.

Even though the brand is no longer sold new, workshop manuals remain essential. The titles on this page cover engine service and overhaul, automatic and manual transmissions, electrical and wiring diagrams, torque specifications, diagnostic procedures, and scheduled maintenance. That level of detail matters for a well-used Commodore or a Colorado that still works for a living on farms and building sites.

These manuals suit private owners maintaining a family car or weekend ute, independent mechanics who still service Holdens every day, and enthusiasts restoring classic models. With accurate factory information on hand, keeping a much-loved Australian icon on the road stays straightforward.
