5.0 out of 5 stars Reprint of the Factory Technician Service Manual, September 16, 1998
By A Customer
This indispensible publication is the often-referred-to text used by the factory trained techs while servicing your vehicle at the dealership. The illustrations are clear and instructive. Measurements for new and acceptable wear limits are located within each chapter along with torque values. Each chapter is keyed by the subassembly ie. brakes, engine, chassis, etc. If you own Volkswagen products, this manual should be required to ensure you understand how your vehicle should be maintained. (If you do not actually get your hands dirty, consider offering it to your mechanic as a reference!) Bentley manuals are not quite as detailed as typical factory issued motorcycle repair manuals, but run a close second.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, Recommended, but with Caveats, August 29, 2004
By Henry Clayton (New Orleans, La. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has its uses. If you have a need to do moderately extensive work on your VW yourself, it's probably wise to have this book in your shop. It's inferior to John Muir's classic Idiot's Guide (ISBN 0945465122 ) in terms of providing effective ways of repairing your VW (not to mention less fun), but it works well as a supplement to the Idiot's Guide. It's a good secondary reference when using the Idiot's Guide as a primary manual for maintenance & repair. For instance, the Service Manual will often contain illustrations of tiny parts within parts that are lacking in the Idiot's Guide, which can be useful when trying to visualize how things fit together. When something goes wrong, turn to the Idiot's Guide first; when you want a little more padding to get your head around a problem, the Service Manual is often just the ticket. In short, something to keep in the garage rather than in the bus (as you should do at all times with the Idiot's Guide). Highly recommended for this purpose.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good instructions and pictures., June 25, 1998
By A Customer
This book was very clear and concise and covered a lot of the repair issues. The pictures were good and clear. The only downside was they didn't cover enough or discuss all eventuallities. There was no discussion of modifications. This book is mostly just the basics.
