A must have for VW owners

If you want to work on your VW yourself this is the best book you can get.The Bentley manual has almost 1,000 wiring diagrams, compare that to the haynes manual wich has 20. For all my vehicles I've previously owned I had Haynes manuals, after discovering the bentley manual I'm mad I wasted all that money and time not understanding how to properly execute the simplest tasks. This manual has over 5 times the information of other manuals.YOU MUST GET THIS BOOK.

The Most Thorough Book for Do-It-Yourselfers

I own a 1990 German built Jetta and have tried the Haynes manual for '75 through '92 models with little help. The Haynes is based on a complete teardown and rebuild of an older, gasoline vehicle. It doesn't discuss Diesel or Turbo Diesel, and it omits features found in later models, such as cruise control, and does not provide and explanation of determining what model you have. This book, published by Bentley Publishers, is more extensive and has far better illustrations and wire diagrams. My advice: if you want to save money fixing your VW yourself, skip the Haynes manuals and get this book.

Jetta repair bible!

This book is great for the "do-it-yourselfer"...even for the novice who wants to save [the] per hour shop fee and do some basic repairs on your VW, this book will guide you through it. It also provides very handy diagrams and pictures.

An invaluable resource for anyone who owns an A2 volkswagen

It contains everything from regular maintenance to complete overhauling of every little part, and is incredibly well-written and clear. It took me 5 minutes reading this manual to diagnose the source of a noise in my 88 Jetta GL engine that several knowledgable mechanics couldnt find at all. I was especially impressed that there are complete electrical schematics for each individual model, and several pages for each model at that. Not only does it tell you how to maintain and repair your car, but it also gives you valuable background information and explains the differences between each model and variant on a model. If you have a Haynes manual, or any other manual for that matter, youre missing out, and making life difficult for yourself, and you need this book. Anyone whos really into cars can tell you the Bentley manuals are the best ones out there.

Now I do it better than our professional local mechanics

I like VW Golfs quite a lot but I had problems undoing what a couple of mechanics have done to my last Golf (and bill me dearly for it). Thanks to the detailed information this book contains, now I got it running as it should, and will continue saving hundreds of times what I paid for this book.
