I used to try to keep a list of errors I discovered in the wiring
diagrams but I misplaced my notes. There aren't many but some could
drive a novice bonkers. Some waterboxer diagrams mislabel the ECU relay
with fuel pump relay, etc. Some diagrams have wires that cross over each
other but don't connect and then on another year they show a connection
at the crossing point though there is not one.

Another thing that I'm sure confuses many is the labeling of the various
LEDs on the Westy LED panel in the Camper wiring section. The latest
book still only shows a very early version with 8 LEDs (4 reds) though
the 7 LED version (2 reds) was used from about 82 on. In addition the
diagram labels the toggle switch as the pilot flame LED while the true
pilot LED is ignored (low center, red). page 97.30  Also the text for
the water pump functioning talks about the auto pump shutoff when tank
low feature that went away at the same time the 4 red LED panel did.
Since there are 5 or so versions of the Westy LED panel it may be VWs
fault that Bentley has only the early one. It would be nice if they has
the most common one and perhaps a note that other versions exited.

Overall the Bentley stuff for VWs is fantastic compared to other books
and even Bentleys for other brands.
