fuzzwaldo 1 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 you dont have a copy of the bentley manual that you could send me do you, i could only find one for the mk4 vr6 thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Philly-R6 28 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 < insert generic 'copyright' blurb here > I could only find a document containing scans on scribd, so the PDF is not searchable or easily navigable. Search t'internet for "Bentley MKIII Manual". This post on VWVortex was very useful, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 It's expensive but it's about 3" thick full of torque settings and a useful throwing weapon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/083760365X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497288133&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bentley+manual+golf+97&dpPl=1&dpID=51XCK0XNX9L&ref=plSrch Link to post Share on other sites
