Do you own a Haynes?

[jamiepyrite]

So just had a random little thought: "I wonder how many of us own the haynes manual for the mk2.."

So here's a poll to find out!

 

[thewilfmeister]

lol sure do!!

 

[F2 Stu]

errrr yeah?

 

[KarenJ]

But I don't make a habit of reading it, it is the BF, 'reference' manual - just to make sure that how he originally though to do stuff is completley changed/turned over and done in completley the wrong order when you read the book!

 

[Mckellar]

ofcourse - its a mechanical bible imo

 

[Czechboy]

Yup. it can save you a lot of money that little book

 

[adamgardiner]

I got 1 its very handy for some things but things like wiring diagrams are very crap,

 

[roly]

i've got something better that haynes

 

[Tom B]

I have Haynes manuals but I only refer to them when I get stuck, and they rarely help!

 

[jenk]

Yep and it tells porkies

 

[hopkinsgm]

Yup, it's a useful reference. Shame the modern Haynes "Service and Repair Manuals" don't cover many things in the same depth as the old "Owners Workshop Manuals" used to. Mind, I can remember when it were al fields around here...

 

[adamgardiner]

I rarly use mine its there just in case i need it (came in the boot of the car)

 

[AlpineWhite]

i've got one and it can come in handy when i get stuck. i'd really like the SEAT workshop manuals but i don't want to pay 30 Euro for each section!!

ps, 100 posts for me

 

[fishlover900]

i dont own one but if i need one for something i pop down to the libary lol get one from there

 

[Brummy]

got one. look in it occasionally . not been of any use really , tho'

 

[m0rk]

I used to use it, but to be honest I don't need to use it any more (can't find any relevant bits to wiring 2 seperate looms together )

Thats why you get to know people who work in auto electrics places and talk to them nicly lol

 

[hopkinsgm]

...(can't find any relevant bits to wiring 2 seperate looms together )...

It is a "Service and Repair Manual", not a "Frankenmotor Assembly Manual"

 

[Jamin Berry]

Nope. Wish i did. I wasnt to know more about my car and do more things to it on my own.

 

[SofaGeeza]

Got one and it covers the 2.0 but not the cupra?! How helpful is that? :s
