Personally, I try and get my greasy hands on any service manual regarding Mk1's as I can (Haynes, Robert Bentley, Poor Richard's)… generally it is a waiting game looking for the best deal, but it is amazing how the manuals differ in detail from task to task.

Local Hero
I have the Chiltons (which is useful as toilet paper.)
I have the Haynes Golf/Rabbit/Jetta.Scirocco, Pickup 1975-1992 All Gassers 96016 (used semi-often)
I have the Bentley Rabbit/Scirocco 1975-1970 love the color wiring diagrams.
I have the Bentley Cabriolet/Scirocco 1985-1993
Which I have broken the binding in half, finally placed in plastic page protectors in a 6 inch binder, dogeared, tabbed, with the electrical diagrams broken off in to a separate 1 inch binder. While I was getting ready to place it in the page protectors after cutting the pages out, I took it to work with me and Scanned all the chapters in and produced a few pdf's…. I used Adobe to assemble the thing back in to a indexed book, and separated all sections by chapter.
While I know that the Haynes can keep a car running forever (that is all I had when I bought my Diesel bunny in 80, and the Haynes didn't cover the 81,,,) It served me well, and I sold it with the car.
With that said, I use the heck out of my digital Bentley.
I know it is a USA version, but they had to do a Euro didn't they?…..
I remember fondly reading my old Factory Manuals for my Rover and Bug-eye…. "turn the screw anti-clockwise" was a real kicker for me.
ps, I bought my 1975-1979 rabbit Bentley dang near pristine condition at a rummage sale for 50 cents the cover lists the price at 18.50 for a 1979 pub date..About 6 dollars more than I paid for my Haynes at the time.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.
