Hey!
I’ve been searching for one of these….but haven’t found one. Did anyone make a repair manual (Bentley, etc)? Anyone know? ISBN? Thanks!
Ben
I have one here but it is in dutch,
I also have this and although it is for the Passat it does cover the G60 engine & Syncro drivetrain as fitted to the Rallye Golf
Unfortunately they are out of print at the moment, but I wonder how many orders would be needed for a new print run?
It may be worth approaching him to see, if anyone has any interest please post on here.
I can then phone him in the new year with a provisional order to see what the prices etc will be?
btw if it comes off it will be cash with order please,
I’d definitely be interested in a copy! [

I spoke to Haley at Peter Russek today & have just emailed them, & however does not look good for a new print run.
Apparently Peter Russek recently died & a new company have taken over, unfortunately a PDF (or any electronic version of this manual is non existant)
this means that it must first be scanned at a high resolution to enable to be printed, and for such a small print run it is probably not worth it it them to do this.In my e-mail to them I have asked if there are any ways around this problem
More to follow as I get it.
Well I can tell you that there is not going to be a new print run, not even a small one, as they think that there will be so little interest that it is not worth setting up for it!
On a lighter note, I have managed to obtain 4 new copies of this manual, I think these may be the last ones ever as they were last published since 1998.
Due to the fact that I had to pay what I feel is an excessive premium price to get them, they are on sale at 25 pounds each + postage to wherever you are,
I am sorry about the price, but given that they cover the Syncro specific 02C gearbox, transfer box, prop shaft, rear diff/axle & wiring, as well as the G60 engine, braking system etc and that to the best of my knowledge they are the very last ones I feel they reasonable value.
As I bought all the copies he had I got a discount, this means I can sell copies at 25 euros each + postage & not 25 pounds + postage,
With postage to the USA (or anwhere outside Europe for that matter) & paypal charges it comes out at 45 euros in total.
For the UK or Europe the cost is 35 euros in total.
as of now there is only 1 copy left! so please be quick if you want it [:0]
