I bought this book because I found the Mk3 Vw Golf version invaluable. I can say that any American buying this manual will find that it is by far, more useful that say the Haynes version, or chat room searches, as far as level of detail goes. It fails me only a couple of details. First. I am in Europe and the manual does not appear to cover or at least reference (at least I cant find it) my PB engine code, therefore making it necessary for me to interpret some explanations and try to compare them to my car. Secondly it let me down on the model version differences, for example I have a 92 run out 8valve model with 16valve Gti spec, but I still don't know if my bee-sting aerial is powered or not. Also I find no reference as to how the child locks work. Trivial points I know but I think worth mentioning as the book is slightly on the expensive side. The Bentley Mk3 golf manual is perfect, since, the main engine described (The ABA) was developed specifically for the American market, so the manual travels very well. Otherwise you will not find a finer reference book. On hind sight due to the complex Vw range I shouldn't expect Bentley to cover as you Americans say "all the bases". 8/10 -1 for price -1 for European discrepancies.

This book was written for the shop mechanic who works for the car dealer and who can't afford to go wrong because the work they do is insured--
This book is much better than the cheaper varietys sold at auto parts stores. Highly recomended.

I ordered this book to help solve certain issues with my 87 GT. Though its not as in-depth as I hoped, I did learn alot about the car that I was not aware of. It was a good reference material to help disassemble both interior and exterior parts. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to restore their VW, as well as for full proper electral diagrams contained within.

If you are looking for part numbers, this is not the book to have. If you are looking for a brief overview of your MKII VW...then this is pretty much what one would need.

As a source for the GT model, it is barely mentioned within its text but does falls underneath a mixture of the GTI and Jetta refferences.

This is an excellent service manual. The book covers everything you need to know about the Jetta. This book is so much better then the ones you purchase at auto parts stores.

I have one of these for my mark 2 and my mark 3 "A" platform cars. This is the best manual you can buy.

I compare 3 different manual for Jetta, The Bentley one content system description and a lot of informations that not shown on others. No matter you are a DIY or professional car mechanics, you do need the Bentley. Although it is not perfect, but you can tear down your car with confidence if you have it in hand.

If you want to work on your VW yourself this is the best book you can get.The Bentley manual has almost 1,000 wiring diagrams, compare that to the haynes manual wich has 20. For all my vehicles I've previously owned I had Haynes manuals, after discovering the bentley manual I'm mad I wasted all that money and time not understanding how to properly execute the simplest tasks. This manual has over 5 times the information of other manuals.YOU MUST GET THIS BOOK.

It is the best book because it explain you the fonction of every parts and how to check if it's work well. You must buy this book if you own a A2 volks. The money you will save even if you go to the repair shop worth the price of the book buy 1000 times...

It is alsow a good reference book if you want to put a passat 2.0L 16V engine in your golf and jetta because the book cover this engine and you have all the wirings diagrams you'l need to do the swaap... very helpfull!!!

I own a 1990 German built Jetta and have tried the Haynes manual for '75 through '92 models with little help. The Haynes is based on a complete teardown and rebuild of an older, gasoline vehicle. It doesn't discuss Diesel or Turbo Diesel, and it omits features found in later models, such as cruise control, and does not provide and explanation of determining what model you have. This book, published by Bentley Publishers, is more extensive and has far better illustrations and wire diagrams. My advice: if you want to save money fixing your VW yourself, skip the Haynes manuals and get this book.

This book is much better than the Haynes series.

More details on diesel version.

This book is great for the "do-it-yourselfer"...even for the novice who wants to save [the] per hour shop fee and do some basic repairs on your VW, this book will guide you through it. It also provides very handy diagrams and pictures.

What to say. This is an excellent title to have if you have a VW. I have a '89 Golf 1.6 GTD (2 doors) and lýke any owner of a car wanted to get the best out of my car after servicing but never pleased. So I took the servicing in my hands through this well written and illustrative book. Deeply recommend this book to vw owners.

A very good manual for the Jetta series, with one exception. There is not enough information on servicing the Automatic Transmission version. If you plan to do your own Auto-trans servicing this manual will not give you sufficient information to do that service. Although there is a diagnostic section, the best it offers it to tell you to go to VW and have them do the servicing!!! Pretty poor for a manual in this price range.

It contains everything from regular maintenance to complete overhauling of every little part, and is incredibly well-written and clear. It took me 5 minutes reading this manual to diagnose the source of a noise in my 88 Jetta GL engine that several knowledgable mechanics couldnt find at all. I was especially impressed that there are complete electrical schematics for each individual model, and several pages for each model at that. Not only does it tell you how to maintain and repair your car, but it also gives you valuable background information and explains the differences between each model and variant on a model. If you have a Haynes manual, or any other manual for that matter, youre missing out, and making life difficult for yourself, and you need this book. Anyone whos really into cars can tell you the Bentley manuals are the best ones out there.

I WANT SEE INSIDE THE TABLEAU DIGITAL I HAVE CAR GOLF GTI 198

I like VW Golfs quite a lot but I had problems undoing what a couple of mechanics have done to my last Golf (and bill me dearly for it). Thanks to the detailed information this book contains, now I got it running as it should, and will continue saving hundreds of times what I paid for this book.

I think this book is a must-have for anybody who pokes around the inside of their Jetta (or Golf or GTI). Not only does it contain the standard tear-down diagrams, but outlines tests on the car's systems and has charts for diagnosing trouble. (What's that noise?) It's all written in very plain English and is almost always very detailed (although its does have a few lapses). It saved me a pile of money I would have otherwise given to my dealer.
