They are spendy, and even I can't get a discount on them.  The dealers sell
Robert Bentley manuals, an absoulute recommendation for any German car,
IMHO.  I have two, one for the body and electrical for my '84 GTi, adn the
other for the engine of my '84 GTi.  Early Golf GTi engine replaced the
blown original motor 6 months ago.  $45 bucks a pop, I think, for each.
It's worth it.
