Oh the Haynes is terrible!!! The printing in mine is so bad that I can't
read the schematics.

I prefer the Bentley by leaps and bounds!!! The Haynes has a bad habit of
getting to a point in a project and then telling you that this procedure is
beyond the scope of the amateur mechanic. I'll be the judge of what i can
do thank you...

The Bentley - though not flawless - is much better though it assumes that
you and I have access to all sorts of fancy VW only tools.

Buy 'em both. Haynes is cheap (you get what you pay for) and the Bentley
has nice pictures and diagrams.
