      Default Owners manuals, differences?

      My 03 mk4 is from Germany and I don't speak that as a very good third language, so I'm after a little more understandable one.

      So my question to you UK lot is, are there differences between an R32's manual and that of a regular mk4?

      Over here/up here they say the R32 didn't have it's own before 08, so I must order a regular mk4 owners manual. They say that is the same case for a English manual too.

      I often question the stealer's knowledge, should I do it this time too?
      Regards,
      David

      Hi David, have a look at this ebay listing:
      vw owner service manual book NEW golf mk4 GTI TDI V5 V6 on eBay (end time 26-Aug-10 00:05:01 BST)

      According to that description the wallet is the only difference between regular and R32?

      Hope that helps?

      Rich

      Thanks.
      Seems that that could be the case.
      By wallet, we mean the "leather wrapping"?

      I could try that.

      Does your (or other mk4 owners) owners manual seem to be specific for the R? Besides possibly the wallet? Does it say R somewhere on the paper cover or index?

      I asked the seller if he could take look in the manual he's selling. It didn't mention the R at all. Not in the technical section either.

      I better start a new thread called "show me your mk4 owner manuals".
