Scion xB Service Repair Workshop Manuals
Scion was a subsidiary of Toyota, aiming to appeal to younger buyers with quirky designs and reasonable prices. The xB was its most popular model, especially the first generation, which caught the public’s attention with its boxy shape.
Since the xB was based on a Yaris platform, it is very reliable, with durable mechanics and solid electronics, though the build quality was an issue, particularly inside the cabin.
Still, regardless of its reliable internals, the xB is slowly aging and will eventually require a bit more maintenance. Hence, a Scion xB repair manual is a wise investment, helping you prevent and repair issues thanks to detailed troubleshooting instructions, step-by-step repair procedures, wiring diagrams, and torque specs.
And, of course, repairing your xB at home using a good Scion xB service manual is much cheaper than visiting the repair shop since you’ll only need to source replacement parts — a no-brainer for every owner!
Designed to appeal to the younger generation, the Toyota Scion xB was initially, a subcompact turned compact vehicle sold and manufactured by Toyota. However, before you work on your xB, double check to see if you have a Scion xB repair manual.
The first-generation xB was a reworked version of Toyota's subcompact bB. The small hatchback was based on the Toyota Yaris/Echo platform. Only the first-generation models for both the bB and the xB were related. Second-generation models were based on different platforms.
To create the first-generation xB, Toyota took the bB and modified it from right to left-hand drive. The front passenger area also saw significant changes with the front bench seat being replaced with bucket seats, and the column-mounted shifter was changed to a floor-mounted shifter.
The drivetrains also differed. The xB was only available with a 1NZ-FE that produced 108 hp (81 kW;110 PS) and 105 lb⋅ft (142 N⋅m) but offered both a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. AWD was not available on the xB.
A spare tire was stored under the cargo floor, on the Scion xB. Since the spare tire elevated the cargo floor by several inches; to reclaim some of the lost storage space, a bin was added to the right of the spare tire. The jack was stored under the driver's seat of the xB. In 2003, the xB went on sale. Sales of the first-generation xB ended sales in June 2007.
Toyota unveiled the second-generation xB at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show. The new xB was more substantial in size than its predecessor and less boxy in shape. The 2008 model year xB was 12-inch (300 mm) longer, 2.8-inch (71 mm) wider, and over 600 pounds (270 kg) heavier than the first-generation xB. The second-generation xB designed specifically with American buyers' ""wants"" in mind.
The sales of the Scion xB fell after the switch from the compact first-generation to the much larger subcompact second-generation xB2. Third-generation xBs were produced from 2011 to 2015 and had a newer electronic interface and a newly designed bumper, grill, and emblem. To make customization easier, the previous second-generation had removable grille plates; however, for the third-generation, the grille was replaced with a solid front bumper and non-removable grille.
Originally, intended to draw younger auto buyers to Toyota, the Scion xB has been one vehicle in a long line of Scions. With that said, why don't you stop by and grab yourself a Scion xB service manual, today!
