Hi all. This is probably going to sound very familiar to some. I have a 1994 A80 TDI Avant. My problem is trying to find a workshop manual that is accessable:- Haynes are currently "thinking" about writing one, tried getting one off ebay but this would not load in to computer. HELP any ideas most welcome!!!

perhaps if you let us know the problem we may be able to help should we not manage to source you a manual?

welcome to the site by the way.

I can vouch for that, I changed the headlight bulbs on mine, Haynes told me to remove the bumper.... When all that was required was a few plastic covers under the bonnet

Many thanks for the offers of help. As per normal with anything older and mechanical it is mainly just little niggly things.
A small concern at present is what i assume is a vacuum hose on top of the inlet manifold which at present has a short length of hose which has been bent over and then clamped, where the other end goes is a complete mystery !!.
Just at the moment car has gone away for serious surgery to the injector pump. Am anticipating miracles and probably a second morgage.
