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.

this book is quite comprehensive. one problem: non USA passat owners may have monojetronic fuel injection, this is not covered. the 1.8 litre engine is also not covered, only the 2 litre.

It was a great relief to find an affordable manual that gives the information to actually diagnose and repair a vehicle. Hanes and Chilton beware, if I need to repair a European vehicle I will look for a manual from Bentley Publishers long before I buy one of your very incomplete manuals.
