Reprint of the Factory Technician Service Manual
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.

Very good instructions and pictures.
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.
