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.
