Bentley Manuals (manual, a misnomer at best) used to be the go-to authority but several years ago I stop trusting them due to many omissions and errors. These days I often do a Google search first before looking at a Bentley Manual. Even torque specs can be wrong. To wit I recently did a clutch replacement on my 1.8t A4's - the Bentley manual would have had me over torque the flywheel to crankshaft bolts by at least 25 percent due to bolt changes not noted in the stinking Bentley manual.
