Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I have the Bentley manual for the Mk3, bought from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Volkswagen-Jet...3512722&sr=8-3

    It was cheaper to buy directly than it was to order it from Borders book shop, even though shipping can suck.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

          Are you looking at the 2 litre engine? The same engines are used in the Passat, which would widen your search criteria if thats all you need.

          Thing is around this era Haynes left the 'workshop' manual and went to the 'service and repair' which are nowhere near as detailed.

                MK1 Golf/Rabbit Bentley manual's aren't printed anymore, correct? Hence they're very hard to find/expensive when you do?

                            im looking for a 2lt and vr6 mk3 manual. looking at getting a bentley as i hear good things.
                            May be a stupid question, but would it make any difference in the manual came from the US or UK? is there a different versions for each country?

                              The Bentley manuals are printed in the US based on info from VW America. The details only cover the models sold in the US & can have differences to what is sold here. The UK manuals are the same manual & only marketed in UK.
                              Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
