Geely MK 2007 Repair Manual – What You Actually Get on the Bench

If you’re wrenching on a Geely MK from 2007, you already know aftermarket manuals skip half the torque values and give you wiring diagrams that look like they were drawn by a monkey with a crayon. I’ve seen guys button up a head gasket with the wrong sequence because some PDF told them “tighten to spec” without listing the actual ft-lbs. That’s not a repair; that’s a comeback waiting to happen. This 2007 Geely MK 2007 Repair Manual is the factory print from Geely International Corporation, July 2007. 375 pages of Russian-language documentation that covers every bolt, wire, and hose on the MK chassis – JL7132U, JL7132HU, JL7152U, JL7152HU, and JL7162U models. The binder’s been scanned clean, so you can print the page for the job and not smear grease on your phone screen.

Engine Overhaul – Valve Clearance and Timing Belt Torque

Chapter 3 of the manual starts on page 25 with the engine block. Section 1 is a compression check procedure, then straight into engine removal on Section 2. Section 3 covers drive belt replacement – but the part you’ll burn the most time on is Chapter 2, Section 3: valve clearance adjustment (page 39). You need the feeler gauge set and the factory gap numbers. This isn’t “snug and pray” work. The manual lists the exact clearance for intake and exhaust valves on the 1.3, 1.5, and 1.6L EFI engines. Skip that step and you’re chasing a misfire for an afternoon. The BOSCH M7.9.7 engine management system is detailed here too – fuel injection timing, idle air control, the whole setup.

Fuel system diagnostics live in Chapter 3. Section 1 is fuel pressure testing – hook up your gauge, key on, spec is right there. Section 2 and 3 walk you through fuel pump electrical tests and replacement. Don’t trust the aftermarket wiring pinouts; the factory schematic in this manual shows you the exact relay and fuse locations for the MK platform. I’ve used this to chase down a no-start on a 1.5L that had a corroded pump ground – took me twenty minutes because the manual had the connector view on a diagram I could actually read.

7 Systems Covered – From ABS to Air Conditioning

You’re not buying a generic “engine and chassis” pamphlet. This manual covers: engine mechanical, fuel system, exhaust (Chapter 4), cooling system (Chapter 5 – thermostat, radiator, water pump check), the BOSCH M7.9.7 EFI, ABS anti-lock brakes with SRS airbag system wiring, parking radar, audio system, and the air conditioning loop. The ABS section alone is worth the price if you’ve ever had a MK with an intermittent pump motor. The manual includes the diagnostic flow chart – start at the wheel speed sensor connector test, then the ECU signal check. No guesswork, just a sequence that works.

Source Authenticity – Why OEM Trumps Aftermarket

That aftermarket CD you found for ten bucks? It’s a reprint of a reprint with torque values rounded to the nearest “tight enough”. This 375-page document is the original factory manual prepared by Geely’s Automotive Research Institute and Zhejiang Geely Automobile Co., Ltd. The PDF I have came from the authorized distributor. Page numbers, section references, and diagnostic procedures are exactly what Geely technicians used. The wiring diagrams aren’t redrawn; they’re the same schematics used on the assembly line. When the manual says “tighten the cylinder head bolts in two stages to 30 Nm (22 ft-lbs) then 60° turn,” that’s the spec – not a suggestion. You want to keep the head gasket sealed? Follow the factory sequence on page 30. I’ve had zero comebacks on MK heads done by this book.

For an overview of where Geely fits in the global auto industry, Automotive Industry Overview gives context on the brand’s evolution from the CK to the MK series. But for hands-on work, you need the factory data, not a history lesson.

Does This Manual Cover the Fuel System?

Yes. Chapter 3, pages 40-45, has fuel pressure testing, pump replacement, and the evaporative emission control system including the carbon canister replacement (Section 5). The BOSCH M7.9.7 injection system is explained in the electrical section later in the book – you get the ECU pinouts and diagnostic trouble code table. If you’re chasing a lean code, start with the fuel pressure regulator check on page 41.

What Torque Values Are Listed?

Every fastener that matters. Cylinder head bolts (page 30), main bearing caps, connecting rods, camshaft caps, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, wheel lugs (86 ft-lbs for the steel wheels, 96 for alloy), and suspension components. The manual uses Nm with ft-lb equivalents – I always use a beam or click-type wrench. No impact guns on critical fasteners. The factory tolerance is tight; you’ll see values like 50±5 Nm (37±4 ft-lbs). Don’t guess – look it up.

FAQ

Will this manual work for a 2008 Geely MK?

Minor updates happened after 2007. This covers the 2007 model year production. Later years may have different ABS module part numbers, but the engine and chassis procedures carry over. If your 2008 MK has a different ECU calibration, cross-check with the BOSCH M7.9.7 section.

Is the manual in English?

It’s in Russian. But the diagrams, torque tables, and wiring schematics are language-independent. You read numbers and follow arrows.
