I just bought a 1985 and checked with my local VW parts supplier for a
repair manual. The answer was that the only thing ever produced was the
official shop manual, offered at $107 (Canadian). I grew up with John
Muir's "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive". Is it really true that there is
nothing out there but the official (and probably undecipherable) version?
