Subject:On the essential utility of the Bentley

Stan,

Yep! And as I said "often right", but certainly not a trustworthy reference.
One of the best things about the I-4 engine conversions is that, in spite of
themselves, they published a real manual for the 88-92 A2 series. BTW, the
Audi 5000, the Quantum and the diesel manuals are the same low quality.
Collection of shop notes at best!

Just as a further example, the Digifant I and II discussions in the VW Pro
Training Books (I have copies, and Darrell has them on his site) offer a
modest insight with some troubleshooting tips. None of this information made
it to the Bentley. On the other hand the Vanagon supplement that VW issued to
its dealers when the diesel version was introduced is identically the same
material that is in the Bentley on the diesel. So near as I can tell, the
last Bentley Vanagon Diesel information update is prior to 8/81.

So, Karl is dead on, include the page numbers in the veracity list, at least
most of them are sequential!
