Post by: Agent47 on September 23, 2012, 10:36:31 pm

Does anyone have a digital copy of the workshop manual or know of a website to get it from?

Cheers

Luke

VW would have used ELSAwin or equivalent back in the day. Elsawin now is supposed to have all the workshop manuals for all the cars going back to the beetle, I made an effort to download all the dodgy copies available on the internet but none of which had many polo details. Someone made an online version of it, usefull for some other cars....

Someone used to print a little glovebox sized manual for the Polo including the G40. Quite a clever little effort with drawings rather than photographs. Iirc it was of German origin, but nicely translated.

search autodata and my username and you should find something. I seem to remember uploading a load of stuff about 2 years ago, I think it's pretty much just as grunge said though. Are you after some particular info or just looking to have a reference for future use?
