>>chewed by the baby... anyway (I do have a point, here), do the Bentley books >>actually cost about $100? American? That seems pretty expensive -- is that an >>inflated price? Thanks! > The vanagon manual IS disgustingly expensive. Bear in mind it covers aircooled, diesel and wasserboxer engines, as well as 4sp + 5spd + Syncro-bits tranny, and is thus twice as thick as other VW Bentley manuals. I paid $95 CDN in '88, only because the bookseller who ordered it in for me said he just couldn't sell it at the list of $130. good guy, Can-Do Books in Toronto. Remember, that $US65-85 is about 1.5 hrs VW labour, which you can get back really fast when you fix something trivial. Plus you are defeating VWoA! And... the true stamp of 'motorhead' can only be obtained by reading repair manuals blatantly in public. tim s.
