I've been confused by this too. My guess is the standard mk1 manual will cover some of the basics but will miss anything cabriolet-specific. I'd also be grateful for any advice.

I use the big fat red Bentley manual from the States which covers cabby's into 1993 but they are not cheap.
I also use it because I have the Digifant II fuel injection system on mine.

Many people use the brown Haynes manual which covers most things and if you have a Digifant II you can get the Haynes Mk2 manual as the GTI has the exact same injection system.  :thumbs:

Thanks for that info. 
I am sure mine has the bosch k tronic system as I have a unit on lefthand side of engine with braided fuel hoses with banjo ends leading to injectors

There is no one manual that covers what you need - I have the brown and blue mk1 ones, the early green mk2 one and the Red Bentley one - you just have to dodge the stuff not for your car !!

Cheers,

the brown one above is what you need, it will cover the mechanicals and bodywork. only think i dont think it covers is the clipper kit plus it wont cover the very late digifant type engine

Great. Thanks for the advice. I've just ordered the brown one. I've got the restoration book already.
