V5 Workshop Manual required

[Poppins]

Does anyone know where I can get a workshop manual that will cover the V5 series? I have a 2002 2.3l V5 VW Passat. The Haynes manuals don't cover this model and I was wondering if it is possible to get one somewhere. Do VW have something does anyone know?

Cheers

HI Isaac,

Thanks for that information. It sounds expensive having had a quick look at google. I'll have a more proper look when I have time. I will need something as I am out in the sticks here in Wales and the local dealer is about 35miles away and charges stupid money!

Cheers

Wow...where did you get it for free?!

[Issac Hunt]

You can buy them from a certain internet auction for ten quid

PM sent with a little more info

Many thanks for the PM Isaac. I am unable to reply to it as I haven't used my allocation of 10 posts yet but your help has been very much appreciated.

Cheers

I tried downloading a manual but in it's compressed state my computer couldn't open it. Tried downloading a couple of different 'uncomppressors' but no luck. This is not as easy as it sounds.......still trying.

Hi Poppins

Any luck with un zipping it

If no joy tell me what the file is called, i'm more interested in the end bit .xxx

HI PCDoctor,

No luck as yet. It's a .rar file. My current unzipper doesn't like it and other free ones I have tried aren't working either even though they were suggested on the microsoft site. I am beginning to wonder if I am going to have to pay to get an appropriate program even though that wasn't quite the idea.
