I bought this book knowing full well what year it was for, unlike another reviewer that appears to not know anything about cars. It's a good book for minor to somewhat complex repairs for the Passat and A4. It's not like a Bentley manual, but it's better than nothing, and I really don't want to pay this much for a repair book. I highly recommend this manual for the owners of these cars.

The book explains pretty simple car repair jobs and includes some indepth types of repair. It has some pictures, but they might use one picture for 4 different types of repair. If you are just wondering how to preform basic car maintenance this book is for you.

The book is ok as a rough guide/what to look out
but for something simple e.g. instructions for simple
change of a front headlamp the book indicated total removal
of the headlamp unit on my '98 A4. Fortunately I
remembered to the dealership service advice that
I simply had to pop off a plastic cap behind the
headlamp, undo a clip, unplug the old bulb and replace
it - took less than 5 minutes - good thing I did not
follow the book!
Overpriced too.

A very comprehensive manual with full electrical schematics. Very Helpful with the diagnostics provided in identifing the issue with our car.

This is a very good book to have, it is way better than the other options out there... It has in very good detail of what you need to do step by step when a problem arises, I highly recommend buying a repair manual and keeping it in the automobile that you might have or use!

Works for brake jobs and the like, but if you are going to do real stuff like the timing belt, get the factory manual.

I bought this guide specifically to replace an oxygen sensor in the car. While this book is full of loads of good information on my car, they only had the location of the sensor for the other models, so I still don't know where to find mine. So while it looks useful, it didn't accomplish the first task I bought it for.

This manual is very poor for Audi's. It's obviously set of primarily for VW's, and contains many errors for Audi's.

I ordered this book because it said "VW Passat & Audi A4 1996-2001". It's NOT! It's for 1998-2001 Passat and 1996-2001 Audi A4. I'm still trying to find out how to send it back.
