Where to find a Haynes Manual

[vern4130]

Hi everyone, and thanks for all the help and advice given so far, i have been on here a lot since getting my first 25 recently!

I can't seem to find anywhere that sells a Haynes for an '87 diesel, does anyone know where I can get one?

Alternatively, how different is the van from petrol, as i don't have the original diesel engine in there but assume there are some other differences.

Would be great if anyone could help.

Hi - as far as I know there isn't one for the diesel, but Just Kampers do their own manual for the Diesel. Don't know how good or bad as we are all petrol and LPG.

Cheers

My advice,

Get the petrol Haynes manual for all the suspension, steering, dismantling etc stuff

Get the Just Kampers one for engine related stuff, I struggled without the Haynes manual

Great, will get a petrol manual, got a golf one on order for the engine.

thanks guys!

I think the bentley one covers standard diesel engines, but retails at £70 odd.

First lesson in T25s and vintage VWs though: avoid Just Kampers! For a company that can't stock or produce anything that either fits or has longevity I can't see them producing a manual of any merit!

(However, a couple of the how-to vids on the site for late bay window vans cross over to T25s -breaks/wheel bearings etc- and are useful )

If you're after a copy of Haynes T25 manual i've a copy going spare, I bought it, then realised I'd got the wrong one (I've got an 82 Aircooled) £10 posted?

The Just Kampers manual is a re-covered/branded and published version of "Pocket Mechanic, VW Transporter - Diesels" from Peter Russek manuals.
So I discovered when I bought it and realised I effectively already had it.
