Haynes Manual?

Posted in anther thread so apols for the duplication and yes I know this is an old thread. Haynes have replied to an email today saying that they have no plans to do a mk1 leon manual in the next 12 - 18 months!

If anyone has found an internet version or any useful reference material on the leon it would be much appreciated

haynes manual

hi mate i have been looking for a leon manual to. Have you gone through haynes directly was thinking of having a look through them.

haynes wont do one, i had a conversation with one of their technicians. golf mk4/audi a3 for references i'm afraid.

Buggar! I wonder why they haven't made one - after all they've even done one on sex so why not the Leon! Hmphh!

cos unfortunately the Leon is still not quite as good as,or in demand as sex.

Hope it's OK for me to resurrect this thread rather than start a new one. There are various electronic manuals on Ebay. Can anyone recommend one that works OK? Is there one that will operate from CD/DVD without loading onto my hard disc? Other than that, does one of the AUDI/Golf Haynes manuals cover a rear brake overhaul that is applicable to a Leon Cupra R?

Did anyone have any recommendations? Want a good source of info for my Derv.

i just went and bought the mk4 and bora haynes manual. there are 2 of them so i went for the later one as my leon is a 2002 model

Let me know how good it is when it arrives. Cash is low atm, dont want to go spending something that isnt really worth it. (some new cleaning products is higher up the list )

i bought it and its got the info in it i need. seems ok so far

Iv got an FR 150 derv, enough info relating to the diesels?

dunno dude, if its something specific i could check, if you were closer you could have a look before buying.

it has stuff to do with the engines that use long life servicing as well as the other ones.this one that i have covers mk4 golfs from x reg to 53 plate

diesel engines in this one are codes as follows

AGR, AHF, ALH, ASV, AJM, ARL (150 bhp), ASZ, ATD, AUY, AXR

Petrol ones are

AHW, AXP, BCA (1390cc)
AZD , BCB (1597)
AUM, AUQ ( my leon has this engine)

Just received one and its great!!

I've shamelessly stolen this from mattytdi on the uk-mkivs board:

thats brill, thanks Muttley, now i know which one to get.

Bump - Idiot talking...

Sorry to wake a sleeping thread... I've just spoken to Haynes and they never covered the BAM engine code - now I'm extremely ignorant when it comes to this stuff but the LCR225 has the BAM engine - which isn't listed in Muttley's post so I'm going to ASSume that the "1.8T DOHC (132kW) - AUQ" listed above is the closest as its the biggest number kW and its the 1.8t engine - how wrong am I?

Thanks and sorry if this is simply a stupid Q...

Thanks a lot for the tips, I've ordered the Golf/Bora manual. Should be in next week or so

I've even seen a Haynes manual for the Millenium Falcon

I have litter y spent hours trying to find the right one for my Leon...thanks for this
