Trig 0 Posted December 7, 2005 Haynes don't do a Corrado manual. Only Bentley, I think you can get the Bentley one of fleaBay cheap on CD though..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 7, 2005 MK2 Golf or Passat mk3(??) Haynes will cover the engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big-ted 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Guys, I was thinking about this the other day... How are the Haynes manuals put together, and what is their reason for not doing one for the Corrado? I imagine the Haynes manuals are put together by enthusiasts, who have specific expertise with the car concerend, no? Now, is Haynes reason for not producing one for the Corrado a) that not enough C's were made for there to be a market. A possible fair point. Or b) no-one has come forward with the car/skills knowledge to produce one. Now if this latter one is the reason, there's plenty of people on here with sufficient skills to put one together, and I imagine there'd be a bit of money in it? Alas, I can't count myself amoung those, but it may be food for thought for someone... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Nice idea but it's very unlikely that Haynes would be bothered about printing a manual for a car that is no longer in production. There aren't many Corrados left either (4500? estimate) and of the ones left only a small percentage of owners would actualy buy the manual (most already own the Bentley one). Haynes could expect to sell 1000 max, not worth it in there eyes I would imagine ;) . ..Still be fun though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 9, 2005 I'm afraid I have to agree with triggermyson - I just don't think there would be a market for it. We're trying to build up a semi-definitive wiki though. Admittedly, it's a little thin on the ground at the moment, but it's very slowly getting bigger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catch_twotwo 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Haynes don't do a Corrado manual. Only Bentley, I think you can get the Bentley one of fleaBay cheap on CD though..? It appears there are only 2 providers on eGay right now.... 1 has bad feedback and provides scratched CD's. The other appears to provide a generic manual for Volkswagen models. Pity... as I'm in the same boat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Cmon tho, think about how many would sell if there was a Haynes Corrado manual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted December 10, 2005 considering haynes did a manual for the escort rs1600(mk1)of which there are far less knocking about than corrados,probably less than 100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
