Ah, but the Haynes manual has a few of the wiring diagrams for features not
available on US cars:

- dual horns
- fog lights

All in all, I agree with you -- the Bentley is much better. But I collect
Vanagon reference material 'cause you never know what you'll find. To wit,
I have the following:

- British "Haynes Manual"
- American "Bentley Manual"
- German "VW Transporter mit 1,6 Liter, Diesel und Turbodiesel ab 1979."
- English "Audi and VW 1.6 and 1.9 Litre Diesel, Turbodiesel and TDI Engines"
- 1986 VW Factory Service Guide
- Microfiche's for Camper and Syncro
- Bjorn's reprint of the exploded diagrams for the Syncro
- EKTA CD
- and I expect to collect even more!!
