You can't escape that easily, Ross. There are dozens of Haynes manuals out there for VWs!

Re: Haynes for Octavia

Newer cars are too much of a pain in the ar$e.

I'll do pads and similar these days, but leave anything complicated to a garage as I really can't be doing with breaking anything.

Re: Haynes for Octavia

Does anyone know if it covers the 1.6l AEE (75hp) engine?
It says it covers from -98 but my octavia is from -97.

Re: Haynes for Octavia

Phoned Haynes today to complain about the website saying they were out of stock to be told that there was a website problem and they could take the order over the phone.

Missed the group Buy unfortunately.

Re: Haynes for Octavia

Anyone else wanting one, can buy from a seller on ebay for £14.99 + £2.99 P+P

Wished I'd checked ebay first, as I paid £18.99 + £2.00 P+P @ Haynes
