Product Description
This Volkswagen repair manual contains comprehensive service and repair information for VW Corrado, Corrado G60, Corrado VR6, and Corrado SLC models sold in the USA and Canada. For the Volkswagen owner with basic mechanical skills and for the independent automotive technician, this manual includes the same specifications and procedures that were available in an authorized Volkswagen dealer service department. Technical highlights: * Engine-removal and installation, disassembly and assembly, and reconditioning information for the G60 supercharged 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine and the 2.8 liter VR6 engine. * Digifant and Motronic Fuel Injection and Ignition systems, Exhaust and Emission Controls-from simple preventive maintenance and service to in-depth troubleshooting. * Transmission and Drivetrain - 4-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission including electrical troubleshooting, 5-speed manual transmission including cable shift mechanism, and final drives. * Suspension and Steering-strut and shock absorber replacement, tightening torques, and complete factory wheel alignment specification. * Brakes-brake service and troubleshooting including anti-lock brakes (ABS) and anti-lock brakes with electronic differential lock (ABS/EDL). * Heating and Air Conditioning, Interior Equipment-adjustments and troubleshooting, including airbag information. * Step by step procedures, large detailed views of complex assemblies broken down to their simplest parts, complete specifications and tightening torques. This manual also includes detailed Volkswagen electrical system information, including the extra information that professionals need, and basic instruction that takes the mystery out of electrical troubleshooting: * Volkswagen Special Tools-how and why to use them. * Handling Components and Connectors-proper care and handling of delicate connectors can prevent damage and needless expense. * Basic Electricity-an introduction, or a refresher, on the basics of how and why electricity circuits work (or don't!) * Troubleshooting-the basic methods used to isolate and identify faults, or just to figure out whether there is a problem. * Wiring Diagrams-complete wiring diagrams, the accurate wiring information for each model and model year including optional equipment and running production changes. Even if you plan to leave the care of your Volkswagen to professionals, referring to this manual will help make you a better informed and more knowledgeable service customer.

Just buy it (if you "own" a Corrado!),
By StevieE "911mann" (Kissimmee, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Volkswagen Corrado Official Factory Repair Manual: 1990-1994 (Paperback)
Anyone who owns this car should own this manual regardless of price (yes, I wish it were cheaper too!)but if you value your Corrado and plan on keeping it for a long time like I am, I suggest buying it. The wiring diagrams are very useful once you understand them. It has already paid for itself for the things that I've needed to repair. As for the G60, well, VW doesn't want inexperienced people messing with that because it is a highly precise item and besides some never repair it right and it ends up giving the G60 a bad name, unless you're one of the lucky few who has connections and can get it done right...research it! Get the manual and read it like a book and be proud to get black finger prints on it... ouch.

Overpriced, overly large but ultimately may be necessary,
By Robin (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Volkswagen Corrado Official Factory Repair Manual: 1990-1994 (Paperback)
Absurdly expensive, but if you own a Corrado you may need tobuy this book. Due to no competition they can charge whatever theylike (none of the standard workshop manual publishers have written a book for the Corrado - probably becuase less than 100,000 were built so the market isn't big enough).This extremely large book consists almost entirely of diagrams showing the location of every part that is available for purchase from VW. Note this is different to showing the location of every part (eg. note that specifically it tells you nothing about the interior or how to repair the G-lader since VW only sell it as a complete unit, therefore the manual only tells you how to remove it). The book also only covers the North American models so whilst the book would still be useful to Europeans some sections will not be applicable and others will be missing. Compared to a Haynes manual which holds your hand and carefully guides you through most proceedures you have to figure out most methods yourself with this book as it only gives you the bare bones of what you need to do for a procedure. Or it tells you to use a special VW tool which you are unlikely to have. Having said all this, if you are reasonably competent the book is invaluable when doing repairs and is also fairly good at helping you troubleshoot (particuarly on the electrical side of things). The lack of a decent index is irritating (it has a large index which is totally illogically ordered). I can't help feeling it is also excessively large - partly due to considerable duplication of diagrams. So, in summary, this book is not a Haynes manual equivalent, it is a book that a workshop would use to remind themselves of the order in which to perform a job or how to decide which piece of the car needs replacing. It is not a book that you need if all you are going to do is change the oil yourself. However, you probably do need this if you have a Corrado that you plan to do serious work on - but you are going to find it painful putting black fingerprints all over a book that is this expensive...

Good but too expensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Volkswagen Corrado Official Factory Repair Manual: 1990-1994 (Paperback)
Although this is a very comprehensive repair manual for the Corrado, its value is not close to the high dollar price sticker that comes with it.
