Title: which technical VW books do you own / cherish? Post by: Donny B. on May 06, 2008, 16:11:32 pm This topic may have come up before however I ran across a topic on the other forum that got me thinking. I have a number of books that I refer to from time to time that seem to help me out. I have various service manuals and I especially like the Official VW Service Manual by Volkswagen of America with the colored schematics. One of my favorites is the Without Guesswork book. I have about three of them for various reasons, but there is so much useful information about tolerances and wear limits that I think it is a must have! Of course I have a bunch of Berg Catalogs and information and the everpresent Bently manuals. What say you about your favorite tech. book?
