  • What's the best workshop manual for a 1991 cabrio

    Hi guys and gals, just got a 1991 cabriolet and have spent a while looking at workshop manuals. Can't work out which is best for my model year, nor which is the best publisher. I have in the past used Haynes, but they have fxxked up a bit, sometimes I wonder how they manage to publish books that are so badly indexed!

    Anyone got a definitive answer to which manual is best?

    Bentley...

    VW - Volkswagen Repair Manual: Cabriolet, Scirocco: 1985-1993 *-* Bentley Publishers - Repair Manuals and Automotive Books



    covers quite a bit altho the US spec engines were digifant for a 91 year model whereas aussie cars still had the KE jetronic.

    Have yet to find a manual that has a definitive guide to the top replacement ( can be found online tho )
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,
    Grant...

        Reviving an old thread here - I also have a 91 cabriolet and I'm asking the same question

        I've found this on ebay and was wondering if anyone here rates it at all - VOLKSWAGEN VW GOLF MK1 CABRIOLET 1985-93 SERVICE REPAIR MANUAL ~ DVD | eBay

        If not Bentley what about the US Haynes - that's not too badly priced - VW Rabbit Golf Jetta Scirocco Petrol 1975-92 USA Haynes Repair Manual | eBay

        I managed to get a Haynes MK1 Golf Restoration Guide from the UK for $10 but now I'm looking for a workshop manual focussed on the later model cabbys.

          Buy the Bently, Haynes isn't worth bothering with.

              A lot of people (include me) tempted to buy these eBay repair manual DVD, after all I concluded even its free I don't bother.

              agree with others, buy a Bentley manual.

                ebay ones are usually copies of the factory manual,difficult to read but best of the lot being factory,and cheapest too.
