Decent value, April 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Audi 80, 90, Coupe Quattro Official Factory Repair Manual: 1988-1992: Including 80 Quattro, 90 Quattro and 20-Valve Models (Paperback)
If you own an 80/90 this book is great to have in the trunk if anything "minor" goes wrong.i used mine to repair/replace a lock cylinder, broken window motor, temperature sensor,fog lights etc etc. Unlike these other reviewers, i find this book very helpful. The index is very detailed and straight forward.Alot of information is repeated within the text of the manual throughout different sections.One thing that it DOESN'T tell you ( that upset me)is how to replace the air filter...it just suggests taking it to your local dealer because it is "too complicated". I agree- it is too complicated but i just figured it out on my own. The diagrams are not tremendously helpful either, a little confusing, and not all the parts are identified within them. But all in all, this book is a great reference for general to minor repairs as well as identifying parts to re-order at your local foreign autopart. its especially useful for people who are not familiar with audi/vw engineering- as i wasn't before i bought the book.

Not for rookies, November 26, 2001

I think many people are missing the point here. The words "Factory Repair Manual" on the cover should give you a hint. Bentley produced these manuals for trained technicians to use. This book is not going to hold your hand and talk you through a repair step by step. The book assumes the you have a basic understanding of the automobile. I have found this book to be a great resource many times.

Too expensive., February 18, 1999
By A Customer

The index is not user friendly. Manual does not identify all engine parts. Manual does not explain part function. This manual contradicts the axiom, "You pay for quality."
