Workshop manual for A4

[Vic Norman]

I have a 1998 Audi A4 1.8T in need of an engine rebuild. I have the official
Bentley workshop manual for this car. Looking through the engine chapter I
realized there is absolutely nothing on the crankshaft or pistons, in fact
nothing on the engine block at all except a couple of pages concerning the
oil pump. The assumption seems to be that everyone will buy a replacement
short block....Not good, we'll soon be limited to changing the oil and
checking tire pressures.
Does anyone know of any other source of information for this engine? Are the
VW 1.8T manuals any better?
Thanks
