Good workshop manual for me ?

Post by sternal »

Hi

Would like to get a workshop manual for the van but none seem to cover the engine I have which is a 1.6 diesel I have a Haynes manuel for my old air-cooled so some of the stuff is the same, obviously not the engine !

Any ideas ?

JK do a manual for the diesels. It's not brilliant but gets you by. Then you'll need your Haynes, which only covers petrol versions as you know. Then you'll need a crystal ball for electrics, as the Haynes diagrams are only "typical", but much of the petrol wiring is similar to the diesel.
1.9D (AEF) pop-top. Aaaaahhhhh........that's better.

I've sent you a PM with a link to download a PDF of the VW workshop manual for the CS, JX and KY diesels as fitted to the T25.

Also, the VW wiring diagrams for the JX and KY electrics are on the wiki:
