Title: Mk2 Golf GTI Bentley, a must for all Mk 2 owners
Post by: richandhazel on 14 March 2003, 20:39
Just thought you guys might like to know where I got my workshop manual for the Mk2 Golf GTI. Have a look here:-

http://www.vw-club.ru/service/manuals/A2_2/


It was quite a while ago that I did this but I think I downloaded all the ZIP files, extracted each one into a folder. It should then look something like this:-

I then copied the lot onto a cd and ran setup.exe


Good luck........hope it works for you.

The best way is to copy and paste the address then go to altavista.com choose translate then paste address and choose russian to english.. job done.
Each file is about 9mb each. got adsl and it's downloading right now.

Harris if you got a slow connection then if u want i can burn you copy if it works no probs..
let me know

I'm on broadband so it didn't take too long, might take a while for dial-up, but its worth it. Anyone got it up and running yet?

Have you put it onto a CD? I couldn't get it to run until I did that, it seems to need the disk in the drive to work. You should, however, be able to get the index screen to come up.

I decided to try and get this to work again rich but i'm still having probs.  >:(
I've burned all the files to cd and it runs ok but the diagrams are missing. I get everything else but that's it.
Grateful for any help.... ;D

Sorry Nick........I've only just spotted this post.
I mentioned to you last night that maybe I could make it available to you via Kazaa but I'm having a spot of bother with that, I'll explain later.
I'm having a go at downloading the whole lot again myself and producing another disc. Maybe then we can work out why yours didn't work.

I found that if you have installed it once and it is not running properly you have to uninstall fully before starting again + it like to go in its default location C:\a2 other wise it gets upset. Other wise it seems to run fine. Thanks for the link bye the way. ;)

Excellent, I'm glad someone else has had some success with it.
