Dear List,




The Bentley manual for my Audi 200 is THREE TIMES the size of the Vanagon manual.


The Bentley manual for my 1996 Passat is TWICE the size of the Vanagon manual.


The Bentley manual for a 1997 Jetta is THE SAME length as the Vanagon manual.




What does this mean? Obviously VW/Audi instructs Bentley to write "more comprehensive" manuals for their "more expensive" vehicles. In short: the Vanagon Bentley manual really does "suck" when compared to other Bentley's!!!!




Cheers,


MJS
