And several differences in emissions-related equipment, not to mention
wiring. I'm glad I don't have to make do with a US Bentley manual for my
car- looking at the wiring diagrams, they could well be for entirely
different cars... never mind that my car has a carb instead of FI. And did
the old 80, called the Fox in the US, ever have a 1300cc engine?

Beware: some Euro-market cars were sold as stripped-out versions of the
US-market cars due to local marketing strategy, product placement,
legislation, etc. Even comparing equipment in a German-market car with
mine, you'll notice some differences.

In other words: yes, a Bentley manual might be useable for your repairs,
but don't rely on it too much... your best bet would be to get a proper
workshop manual as published by Audi for your car. Source? Autojumbles are
ideal.

HTH,

Tom
