Its venerable \u003cstrong\u003erear-engine air-cooled Beetle\u003c\/strong\u003e could no longer meet upcoming government regulations and its once phenomenal sales numbers had begun to slide. Something new was needed and the \u003cstrong\u003eGiugiaro-designed Volkswagen Golf\u003c\/strong\u003e rose above all of the other concepts and designs. The Golf (called the Rabbit in the U.S.) was a modern car so different from the ancient Beetle, and in fact so different from anything else on the market that in Europe it's not called the \"compact\" class or \"hatchback\" class; it's called the \"GOLF\" class. This book covers the fascinating transition from Beetle to Golf and the subsequent development of the car that became Volkswagen's new icon. Included are Volkswagen archival photographs of early development projects and details about the people who built these charismatic cars. The story is more than facts and figures. It is an adventurous tale of a company whose future rested on the fenders of a hatchback economy car - a car that ultimately became a favorite of car enthusiasts around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nEach Haynes manual is written for the do-it-yourselfer and provides step-by-step instructions based on a complete disassembly of the vehicle.  This hands-on experience provides the reader with specific and detailed instructions for performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to a complete engine overhaul.  The models and model years covered in this title are as follows:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Diesel:\u003cbr\u003e Volkswagen Jetta 1999 - 2005\u003cbr\u003e Volkswagen Golf 1999 - 2005\u003cbr\u003e Volkswagen GTI 1999 - 2005\u003cbr\u003e Volkswagen TDI 1999 - 2004\u003cbr\u003e Exclusions: Does not include information specific to models with the VR6 engine, the 5-cylinder engine, 2004 and later TDI-PD diesel engine, R32 AWD models or early 1999 models based on the A3 platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Haynes automotive repair manual includes 700+ photos and the following chapters: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Tune-up and routine maintenance\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Part A: Gasoline engines\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Part B: Diesel engine\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Part C: General engine overhaul procedures\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Cooling, heating and air conditioning systems\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Part A: Fuel and exhaust systems: gasoline engines\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Part B: Fuel and exhaust systems: diesel engine\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Engine electrical systems\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Part A: Emissions and engine control systems: gasoline engines\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Part B: Emissions and engine control systems: diesel engine\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Part A: Manual transaxle\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Part B: Automatic transaxle\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: Clutch and driveaxles\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: Brakes\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10: Suspension and steering systems\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11: Body\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12: Chassis electrical system\u003cbr\u003e Wiring diagrams\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Midlife Classic Cars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50881511162136,"sku":"KIT9781583881583\/9781563927089","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/kit97815838815839781563927089.jpg?v=1772265459","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/bs\/products\/thirty-years-of-the-volkswagen-golf-rabbit-vw-golf-gti-jetta-1999-thru-2005-haynes-repair-manual-2-book-set","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
