    Bentley repair manual

    Has any one used the Bentley Repair manuals with their Touareg (or other Volkswagens).
    I see that the facelift model (US verison "Touareg 2") is now available.

    However it does not include the R5 TDI or V6 TDI, of which is popular here in Australia.
    I would not need to use it for engine work only to take off parts of the trim and some wiring modifications.
    Any comments?

    Over the years I have owned around 8 Bentley manuals. They are the best, being almost a direct copy of the VW factory info. Unfortunately they only have access to info for NA markets. I purchased the 2 volumes needed for my T4 & while I knew they didn't include the TDI info I was shocked by the freight cost, from memory around US$140. I bought off ebay & had them posted to a friend of a friend in the States & he bought them out as hand luggage.
    A cheaper & better choice maybe a copy of ELSAWIN 3.5. Not sure if it includes the latest Toureg.

    I purchased 1 year subscription to erwin vw manual, only the sections I needed. You can print from it but you have to renew every year.

    I bought the Bentley Manual when I had a problem with my tailgate. It doesn't include the RHD versions and the R5 or V6TDI. Some of the images are a bit low quailty, but I guess they'd get the job done.
