It's a freakin' hardcover(!)
OK, maybe I'm a little too impressed that this auto repair manual is available in hardcover (and at the same price as the paperback.) I was also impressed at the overall build quality of the book itself. It is a solidly bound book that won't fall apart if drops off my workbench. It also has a lot of pages; many, many, many more pages than the cheap Chiltons manual I bought as a teenager for my 78 Rabbit.This service manual also starts off with some background information and overview of the Audi TT. Normally I find this information to be extra fluff that doesn't add any value, but normally I'm using service manuals on a Honda Civic or a Ford Econoline,.. and they are just boring vehicles. The background info on the TT was rather interesting and I'm glad it was included in this manual.I can't speak to the technical aspects yet, as I haven't done much since buying the book. So far I have only performed an oil change and replaced a couple light bulbs. Could I have done those without the manual? Yes; but the manual actually helped with a few little details.Cons:(1) The book includes a chart with engine oil specs for different years and models. For the 2001 model it states 'no specification provided' or something similar. Yet, my original glove box owners manual DOES include specs for the oil grade. This isn't an error, just an oversight/omission. It is obviously a very minor concern, but it does show me that perhaps the book isn't always 100% complete or infallible. (I haven't performed enough maintenance yet to notice anything else.)(2) The price. I paid about $90 which seems like a lot to a cheap old bastard like me. Oh well. I wasn't expecting anything about the TT to be exactly cheap.Overall, I would give this Bentley Audi TT Service Manual 4 1/2 stars.

This thing was a life saver!
I would consider this book a requirement if you plan to do your own work on your TT MK1. Most of the instructions are very clear and easy to read. Very detailed also.We ended up buying this due to the throw-out bearing on the slave cylinder dying and not finding much information online. Once we read through the process I was very glad we didn't try to do the job without it. Being a German car a lot of the tolerances and torques were very specific. It also told us things I would not have guessed that may have ended up costing a lot more money such as what type of break/clutch fluid to use. It also uses a very specific power steering fluid. We ended up just replacing the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate while we had the transmission off. Replacing the clutch on this car is not your typical clutch job, especially if you have a quattro, but the book made it doable.I am sure this will continue to provide valuable information as it has all the maintenance schedules in detail and how to do them. Overall I estimate that this probably saved me at least a couple grand in shop labor costs. It is totally worth the cost, especially if you have a big job on your hands.

A really-good manual
I'm a pretty-decent shadetree mechanic, but there have already been several things I might not have figured out how to repair on this Audi without this manual. I'm actually very impressed. I have dozens of manuals from repairs I've done over the years, but this is written completely-differently from typical American service manuals, and fortunately-so. Great isometric drawings throughout. Very happy.

Good Book.
Very nice hard bound book.It has a lot of photos, but it's still not as good as a real shop manual.It leaves a lot out. But, it's still worth the money.Use it, along with Google searches of Audi Videos and you should be able to solve most Audi problems.Which can be very costly. My Audi TT, 2002, runs fantastic; but it has multiple electrical and computer problems that crop up every day. I'm an electrical engineer and a past Jaguar V-12 mechanic. Even I get frustrated with the lack of reliability of VW products. I didn't have near the problems with my Audi A4 as I've had with the TT. Yet, with Quatro the TT can run rings around most any car on the road, even most corvettes.

No sirve para arreglar el Auto.
Lo estoy devolviendo en Perfecto estado. No sirve para “arreglar el Audi”. No me enviaron etiquetas de prepago de devolución y es muy caro.Lo tuve que devolver por medio del Post Office.

Already saved me some money!
I bought this book having just bought a 5 year old TT. A bit of a gamble - both the car and the book. I've already saved most of the cost of the book by replacing the rear view mirror myself. Well, actually my husband did it 'cos he's the muscles. The local Audi garages didn't know how to do it and they were going to charge me the price of this book for doing the work. The next project is new brakes, and the book again explains it all in detail. Husband says it's the best car manual he's had - and he's had a few. Verdict : expensive but worth it.

Helpful manual, poor quality of finished product.
While the content of the Manual is helpful the quality of the binding is problematic as the Front and Back covers and binding are upside down and backwards to the content within the manual. Bentley did a poor job of quality control - so when you open up the front cover you are looking at the last page of the manual and it is upside down. For this price Bentley needs to get it right. It would also be nice to have some troubleshooting assistance included, verses just how to identify a part and how to remove/install.
