Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, GTI: 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 Cabrio: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 (A3 Platform) Service Manual: Including 1.9l Tdi, 2.0l and 2.8l Vr6

This manual is absolutely awesome! I've owned manuals for most my cars but this project is special so I spent a little extra to have a quality manual. This is the best manual I have ever purchased. Coupled with some internet videos, there is not much I can't do on my own on my Cabrio with my current skills and tools. This makes the project more fun for my 7 year old son who I'm trying to teach about tools and mechanics. The illustrations are very informative on the order things go, what they are, and how to remove or install it. The book is big (Hardcovered School Dictionary BIG) and has a lot of referencing back and forth to complete certain tasks but they all make sense and its all there.

I've used Chilton and Haynes manuals and was completely floored when this thing arrived in the mail.I have the Haynes manual for the same car and am sorry I spent the $30 on that one. The Haynes is printed on poor quality gray newsprint with low contrast and grainy photographs. The Bentley is printed on sturdy, bright white paper. There are no photos, but the illustrations are much more useful than the pictures.As an example, I needed to replace the nuts for the wiper arms. The Haynes was no help but the Bentley told me in the exploded wiper diagram that they were M8 nuts.I replaced the heater core in the car with the Haynes and was frustrated beyond belief at the poor editing, fact checking and cross referencing. I simulated the same procedure with the Bentley and I think the task would have been about 30% easier if I'd had this book for the initial run.The wiring diagrams and trouble-shooting sections alone in this book are worth twice what I paid for it and are either generic or completely missing in the Haynes.Short of having the actual VW service manuals and guides I don't know how you could get better.

So glad to find this rare book

While I don't own a VW anymore, or a car for that matter, this book really bailed me out when it came to fixing problems with the electrical systems. The book just blows american technical manuals out of the water when it comes to useful information and explanations. Chilton's manuals are so general when it comes to foreign cars, you might as well throw them away if you have a REAL problem. I had to solve a problem with a turn signal and a couple other things and couldn't find a book in any local auto shop that would explain the fuse box at all. This book had a complete mapout of the electrical system that was nothing short of astounding.All in all, the thoroughness of this manual, and Bently manuals in general is awesome. You won't waste your money.

Amazing price on a very hard to find book. I was very impressed with the condition of the book.

Im a auto mechanic for a german auto maker(not vw)for over 11 yrs now. I bought this to service my vw jetta, ,mostly for specs and wiring diagrams. From a professional level this book is very good. It has lots of valuable info and specs for the diy weekend mechanic. The wiring diagrams are full and there are a ton of them. I read wiring diagrams daily for my job, but found these very difficult to follow. I feel theres too much wiring and items on each page. The wiring pics are small and its hard to follow each wire from page to page. You almost have to use a magnifing glass to follow thru the diagrams. All in all its worth the cash if you plan on servicing your own car. The chilton or other similar books have limited info, and are more geared to the diy mechanic. This book is more greared to someone who knows what parts make up a car and what makes one tick.

Awesome books, they have great tutorial online stuff too, check them out. It has solved everything I have wanted to do with important tips and manufactures suggestions and special tools needed for certain jobs. These are much more in-depth and better organized than a Chilton or Hanes manual. It was worth the money for me.

This is an excellent manual for VW Golf available in the market.Its been a month since i bought it and have already used it to actually repair 3 issues. Change a tail light cluster, cabin air filter change, engine air filter change. and I'm no pro with cars. I just like my car and i'm curious about things. So this book is just what i needed. There are also details specific to models which i couldnt find in my Haynes manual (my first repair manual). Let me just add that this book is far far better than Haynes manual ,which is the other popular publisher you'll come across.And also this book is better than having a dvd , no matter how detailed the dvd may be. Simply because you can find what you want when you're working on the car.Nick.
