More About the Author

Since 1950, Bentley Publishers has helped professionals and do-it-yourself mechanics by publishing highly detailed automotive manuals and time-saving service guides. We started by reprinting and distributing hard-to-find British car manuals, such as Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph. Today we offer a full line of technical automotive reference information for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and many other vehicles.

Everything that goes into a Bentley manual - from developing the outline, tearing down a car, authoring the repair information, taking our own photography, to meticulously disassembling the vehicle (and putting it back together again!) - is done by our team of Technical Editors right here in our Cambridge, Massachusetts office.

In authoring our manuals, our approach has been to go for the details, resulting in books that may look intimidating, but are easy to use. More detail and less "averaging of facts" leads to less guess work when you are working on a car.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one do-it-all manual for the VW Fox!, October 3, 2000

This review is from: Volkswagen Fox Service Manual: 1987-1993 (Paperback)

Extremely detailed and informative, this book has all the information the home mechanic could ever possible need. From changing a sparkplug to rebuilding the transmission (yes, there *is* a detailed transmission breakdown), it's all here. All systems are covered and diagramed in detail (even circuits), and things that are often passed over by other manuals (instrument panel, etc.) are covered.

While the author assumes that the reader has some knowledge of auto repair, those with even a basic knowledge should not be confused and will learn a lot from this book. This book is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Service Bible for Volkswagen Fox models, September 9, 2000

By 

Timothy S McIntyre (Roanoke, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Volkswagen Fox Service Manual: 1987-1993 (Paperback)

Those who drive and love their Volkswagen Fox understand that although many parts will bolt on from different VW models, the Fox is somewhat quirky in the way it is put together. The Robert Bentley service manual is the Bible for VW Fox owners who want to service their vehicles properly. It contains detailed diagrams of wiring and vacuum systems (very important in a VW) and though not written for the novice mechanic, is easy enough to understand for anyone to get started servicing their own vehicle. Additionally, if you want to get into more complex service issues, the Bentley manual will take you as far as you want to go. If you are looking for the right way to take care of your Fox, look no further.

This review is from: Volkswagen Fox Service Manual: 1987-1993 (Paperback)

I haven't gotten into the more detailed aspects of auto repair, but the Bentley manual is very very good to say the least. At times, the illustrations can be a little difficult, but it's much easier once you compare it with the car and know what you're looking at. This manual covers damn near anything you could ever think to do to a VW Fox, and has been a big help so far.
