Re: Temp Warning Light
Hi Steve,
I think he was just talking about the small car manual which comes
with it when you buy a new car, not the service manual. Even that is
difficult to get here.

Re: Temp Warning Light
Christoph,
Actually, Bentley prints both the Repair Manuals ("How to replace the
engine", etc.) and the Owner's Manuals ("WARNING! Don't drink gasoline, oil,
battery acid, coolant, etc. etc."). When I first got my '87, I had to order
the owner's manual from them. They shipped the non-quattro one to me and so
they shipped the correct manual to me at no additional charge. This was
before all the '87 5ktq's started turning up with regulart frequency at the
local wrecking yard, some with mint manuals. The local Audi parts
department directed me to Bentley - instead of laughing about my old car.
