Repair Manual
Is the VW Rabbit Auto Repair Manual by Haynes (1975-1992) any good?

Re: Repair Manual
Yes and No, It will cover the engine but the Rabbit is an American Golf so they may be some differences.
Haynes Manual will cover the body and engine.

Re: Repair Manual
Thanks! Will it cover the 16v GTX? I think not, as its not listed on the cover.
Best regards

Re: Repair Manual
No not the 16v engine just the 8v, I guess you have the 16v engine then, was it fitted at a later date or a proper 16v?

Re: Repair Manual
You'd be better-off overall with the Haynes Mk2 Scirocco manual and then presumably a Mk2 Golf manual will cover the 16v engine.

Re: Repair Manual
If you want 16V you should buy the Bentley, but a lot more expensive, I like it more though.
