You can try your local library, parts store, or e-bay. You could also post on the parts wanted forum. Tim

Or go right to the source, www.rb.com. I got mine from J.C. Whitney, seen them for sale at shows.
And how can you be in so many places?

I lived in Hartford for a while and know that NB & Norwalk aren't exactly next door.

I just went to the Bentley site. The book you desire IS the "Official VW Service Manual", & can be ordered. But check w/ J.C. Whitney, it will be considerably cheaper from them. Also available from The Real Source, www.madirect.com. I've seen it in the RMMW catalog as well. I'd bet most parts suppliers have it or can get it for you.
However, it does NOT describe disassembly procedures. I don't know what book does. If you're interested in disassembly of engine, you need Tom Wilson's "How to Rebuild Your VW Engine" or Keith Shumes' "How to Hot Rod VW Engines". I may have the titles slightly wrong as I don't have them in front of me, but I'm close.

http://www.aircooled.net the sponsor of this site sells all popular VW books and manuals.I like Bentley, Haynes and Tom Wilson for engine rebuild.
Also very good is the http://www.bugmevideo.com series.
Good luck. Bob Ingman
