This is a great manual. I do typical weekend repairs to my car, I am no mechanic. With this book I can fix or replace just about anything I want to. I wish the book offered step by step illustrations for each repair I am making, but you can't pack it all in one book. Great buy for any car.
VW Jetta TDI
Customer Rating:
A must if you are thinking about doing maintenance on your car. Also includes fault codes if you have a scanner/Vag Com.
No equal for maintenance manuals
Customer Rating:
My daughter blew the engine in her 2001 Jetta 1.8T and this manual was invaluable in completing the engine replacement. Torque specs, exploded diagrams, wiring schematics, etc. There are few weaknesses. If you are making sure you have the correct bolt, sometimes the manual only lists it as "special bolt". That doesn't help. We found that more frequently than you'd think. I think the other thing Bentley could do better with this book is the index in the back of the book. Sometimes it's not easy to figure out which part you're looking at on the engine. Other than that, it's far better than Chilton. Highly recommended.
Lot's of information
Customer Rating:
There's tons of information in this book. Some are way above my mechanical skills but it is a very good book to have.
A Good Manual With Some Flaws
Customer Rating:
I've had this manual for a couple years now; it's very useful, mostly for figuring out where things are, and how they go together. I've had issues with incorrect torque specc/assembly instructions a couple times. Other than that, it's a very good GUIDE. Always double check what it says, and test fit things before hand!
I'm used to Suzuki manuals, which have excellent line drawings, and are very accurate. So this manual was somewhat of a let down, but still very useful as previously stated.
