• Try Bentley.... 12 July, 2002
.I'm kind of an idiot, so something like tightning the alternator belt needs to be explained pretty clearly for me. This book shrugs that type of basic adjustment off. It spends a lot of time on things (like rebuilding the transmission) which I am never likely to do. .Hint for publishers: Maybe what we need is better description of the basic things people might actually do: change belts, tighten belts, change and gap plugs, change rotors, charge batteries and so forth. Think of the Reader's Digest car guide, but focus on specific details of a given model.

• Good If You're Already Super-technical 13 May, 2004
Assumes too much previous knowledge. Lacks basic description of what you're actually doing to the car, and why.

• Dangerously Incomplete 12 February, 2006
This book is not badly written but fails to point out serious and important facts about rebuilding a vw diesel engine. You are much better off getting the bentley vw diesel manual.

• Not For Novices 24 September, 2003
I don't know much about cars and this book really reinforced that. I've had it for several years and it really has been no help at all.

• Misleading At Times, Confusing At Others. 14 November, 2005
Like all these manuals that cover many models and years, they are forced to focus on the service procedures that are common and you shouldn't expect this manual to give the details on how to take YOUR dashboard apart. Instead it gives a lot of specifications and tips on tuneups, brakes, shocks, engine work, etc. It assumes that you are going to remove the engine from the car and rebuild it, so they don't tell you how to do anything major with the engine still in the car. They do also assume a fair amount of mechanical experience and knowledge of cars, and even with though I have that, I still found their procedures confusing at times. Sometimes this was due to drawings rather than actual photos; sometimes it was due to photos being unintelligable due to bad photography.
At one point in this book, they incorrectly pointed to a screw on the manifold and referred to it as the idle adjusting screw, when in fact this screw should only be adjusted by the dealer using special equipment. I wrote a letter to Haynes about this and I felt that their response was a bit defensive.
