3.0 out of 5 stars Bentley- Review, February 18, 2000
The Bentley does NOT give step-by-step troubleshooting advice. It *assumes* you know what "it" is, where "it" is & how. Hard to follow (this said from someone who did mechanical design for a living). NO INDEX. Generally vague Table of Contents. But, since there is no alternative repair maual available, it is the only game in town, and thus a "must have." Be prepared to be frustrated! Good luck!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Rely on this book, July 4, 2000
By Terry Kerszturi (Mt. Prospect, Il. United States) - See all my reviews
This repair manual tells you just enough to get you into trouble.The Air conditioning section is incomplete, and offers nothing for prior to 86 models!The ignition switch area is incomplete, and leaves you hanging.Many sections leave a lot to the readers imagination.Not very complete, and not a good value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference; not a how-to guide, November 11, 2002
I almost didn't buy this book based on the other, negative reviews. I am happy that I went against their advice.

The lack of a real index proved to be a major pain in the rear. The book is stictly a reference manual, and as a reference it is quite good. The pictures, drawings and diagrams are worth the price alone. There is little troubleshooting advice. I just completed some major overhaul work on my engine, and I could not have done it without the book.

The bottom line is that the book is a reference, not a how-to manual.

To troubleshoot the fuel injection/electronic ignition I bought another Bently book: Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management by Charles Probst.. Maybe its because I knew almost nothing about EFI, but I thought that the Bosch book was the best auto book I've ever purchased. I give it 5 stars and consider it an essential companion to my Bently Vanagon book.
