Haynes Manual?

[Russ_20vt]

Im currently in the process of buying a mk3 cupra and went down to my local halfords to see if i can get a copy, much to my surprise i couldnt find one anywhere. All i could find is the older series, now ive heard a rumour that haynes dont bring out a manual untill the car has been out of production for 3 years ?

So if this is the case can we be expecting a Haynes manual hitting the shelves soon?or is it already out?

Thanks

Russell

this has been asked a few time before. I looked up on the haynes web site a few months back and they have never released one for the MK3.

Pauls right, don't think they did one for the MK3, which is pretty crap really!!

Something about it not being in production for long enough, i dunno.

 

[Russ_20vt]

nightmare, what manuals could i get instead considering its a VAG engine? golf? audi? skoda?

 

[Simon L]

For engine info golf/a3/tt/octavia 1.8t

For the chassis maybe the polo?

Haynes Manuals.

Hiya all.

I've got a MkIII ibiza chill on a 51 reg.

As haynes will never produce a manual for this car (as not enough of them were produced) I thought I'd ask you knowledgable lot.

If the Mk3 is a Mk2 facelift is it worth my while getting a Mk2 manual? I've flicked through one at work and from what I can see the differences are cosmetic... does anyone know if this is definately the case?

Oh for the record mine has an AUD engine code.

i think theres a few electronic manuals about mate someone on here will probably point 1 out for you

Hi all,

Would be great if anyone could point us both to an electronic manual. Seen em advertised on ebay, but free is always better

Cheers.


Edit: Just done a search and it seems it's not really tolerated on this site, which is fair enough. the search continues...

the mk2 will get you 80% of the way there, the wiring is different, but the mechanics are similar enough.

What would be the best option for the wiring then? The Mk3 Polo? I need to replace a relay but I dont know which

 

[m0rk]

mk3 polo is no use

what symptoms do you have? there's not that many relays

 

[phil472]

Cheers for the heads up on the mk3 polo.

The problem I have weird. The fog light on the dash board is very dimly light when the ignition is on. But when you try to turn the fog light on the front wipers come on the rear wiper does not work at all and also when I open the boot there is a very strange buzzing noise coming from the dash board. This subsequently developed into the front wipers coming on whenever the car was started....and staying on!

Ive tried the following;
Disconnecting the interior light in the boot
Changing the connector in the boot panel

Neither worked. I have found that disconnecting the connector for the rear wiper (not the same connector I changed) causes the buzzing to stop and the front wipers to operate normally. However the rear wiper and fog lights no longer work.

Someone who apparently knows loads about car electronics reckoned it was a relay problem. Hence I was looking to find out which relay does what to replace.

Im pulling my hair out over it

 

[m0rk]

have a look at the fuse box & see if you can hear which relay it is? they're all under the steering column

 

[phil472]

Im prettys ure it's relay 100. Now the only problem is finding a replacement. I guess calling Seat is the best option

Haynes?

Is there a Haynes for the 20vt?

 

[acidstrato]

Nope

Even Haynes can't get their heads round it.
