neoBentley+
A work in progress.
Bentley Publishers (link below) publishes the best available
tech info
for VWs outside of genuine factory information.
Bentleys are (somewhat loosely) based on the genuine factory
information, unfortunately, Bentley leaves out some
information that
they have decided for you that you don't want or need or
shouldn't have.
Still, Bentley offers the best available to the majority of
enthusiasts, so we buy and use. If you don't yet have your
own copy,
you ought to start budgeting for one soon.
The intent of this page is to offer links from various
enthusiast sites
that fill in some of what's missing from Bentley. Sometimes
these
sources offer info in plainer language than Bentley, some
cover areas
of the car not addressed by Bentley at all.
Technical articles, write ups, howtos and forum threads
applicable to
VW A1 chassis cars.
The organization below approximates that found in VW Factory
shop
information systems.
Exceptions
are made where a topic could, by some logic, apply in more
than one
section, such as Dynamic Oil Pressure Warning Systems.
VW
includes DOPWS info only in the lubrication section, here,
DOPWS info
can be found in both the Lube and Instrumentation sections.
All links will open new windows.
Bentley VW manuals, paper, CDRom, web.
Buy direct from Bentley Publishers or use the ISBN
information to aid
your on-line shopping, or order it from any retail
bookseller.
