I posted about this earlier but it got moved to another area since, apparently, the mods thought I'm selling something - I'm not. So, without giving details, I was able to purchase shop manuals for my Gen 3 at Easymanuals in the UK. The download was over 10 thousand pages!

 

Thanks @BruceR I similarly purchase a full workshop manual for my Mulsanne from the same place from memory.

Best 20 bux I've ever spent!

 

it looks like this site has only manuals for the newer models, gen1 is not there - we still need to use the etis.

 

I don't think I'm supposed to post a link but there are ones there for Gen1 & 2 as well.

 

2003 onwards models are covered by manuals downloadable from the site - it is not well organised, but with a bit of clicking around you can get to the page that covers the earlier models.

I paid £14.99 and was able to download a workshop manual and a wiring manual. I was automatically given a 10% discount code: TGVOWO. This may be useful to other members here...

The workshop manual download actually covers a range of models. I have attached a screenshot of the files that are included:

 

yeah ... looks like the manuals are screenshots in pdf format from vw etka software. no dispute if this is legal or not - just would be more handy to get the application instead or this per.

 

Agreed, Searching through 10,000 pages is a pain but there's a table of contents for each section that helps.
