Okay, call me stupid!

Someone educate me about this "Bentley" thing. I gather it is the "bible" for VW repair, I get that!

Paper, digital media, what? Model or Year specific? If it's on a disc can it be copied or pirated and burned, is it in a format that can be emailed or if not, downloaded onto a site like RapidShare, and if so anyone want to sell me a copy (p/m me on that one!)?

Source or possible sources to purchase? No point in looking till I know exectly what it is I'm looking for.

Why would you ever pay for a manual?

Look under my topics, there is one for .pdf's just follow the links in it.

One more time, FOR ONE MORE THING, thank you!

I'll do just that, but some of your stuff is just so hard to move around in. That's why I like Palmettoguy's format for what you all are creating. And I have been downloading EVERY remotely '05 NBC 2.0 relevant thing you are putting up into my own digital files for quick reference. Don't like having to be tethered to the web! lol

Don't be a thief. Pay the ~$70 for a paper manual.

Agreed on just buying the Bentley. I love my paper manual. I like not having to drag my laptop around to work on the car or having to print out tons of pages.
