I have the Bentley manual for the Mk3, bought from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Volkswagen-Jetta-Golf-GTI-1993-1999/dp/0837603668/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263512722&sr=8-3

It was cheaper to buy directly than it was to order it from Borders book shop, even though shipping can suck.

I've got a brand new Haynes manual for the MK1 sitting here.

ok just need a mk3 manual.... one focusing on the engine would be good, but

probably doesn't exist...

Are you looking at the 2 litre engine? The same engines are used in the Passat, which would widen your search criteria if thats all you need.

Thing is around this era Haynes left the 'workshop' manual and went to the 'service and repair' which are nowhere near as detailed.

ahhhh ok.

yep it's the 2L...you wouldn't happen to have one would you :) ?

Bentley has all the electric diagrams.

MK1 Golf/Rabbit Bentley manual's aren't printed anymore, correct? Hence they're very hard to find/expensive when you do?

DO you mean the 2E engine?

Try Uk ebay, i scored a mk2 haynes for about $25 AUS delivered about a month ago or pm your email, i found one in pdf on the net (the same day i ordered my manual) that might be helpful

Thats Bentley one looks the goods from Amazon, is there anything better than that for a MK3 VR6? I might just bite the bullet and invest in one! Cheers F

im looking for a 2lt and vr6 mk3 manual. looking at getting a bentley as i hear good things.
May be a stupid question, but would it make any difference in the manual came from the US or UK? is there a different versions for each country?

The Bentley manuals are printed in the US based on info from VW America. The details only cover the models sold in the US & can have differences to what is sold here. The UK manuals are the same manual & only marketed in UK.
