Haynes v. Bentley v. Rossi...

[Larry C Leung]

Thanks,

The truth hurts (Bentley). It's curious, the type 85 Bentley and my A2
GTi Bentley
seem to have better (although mostly visual) instructions, however I
believe that is
mostly because both are MUCH simpler cars than the type 44. Then again,
when
I replaced my intercooler and I had to remove the grille, I resorted to
the Haynes b/c
I thought that there were hidden fasteners for the stainless trim strips
on top and
bottom of the grille, and for that, the Bentley was absolutely NO help,
but the
Haynes 5K (no Q) manual was helpful. It seems that it helps to have a
combination
of resources, Bentley, Haynes and of course, the LIST.....
