Owner's manual - 2003 Jetta

[cdnalpina]

Does anyone know a place to download a PDF (or whatever) of an owner's manual for a 2003 Jetta? I am going to buy one off Ebay but would love to have an electronic version so I can go through it and learn more about the car.

Cheers,

Rob

What do you want to know about your car that is so important?
Don't get me wrong my car came with the manual that was good for reading when I got stuck in the car for a bit. Beyond VW's suggested driving in "hazard conditions" and maybe how to set your volume level when you turn on the car you probably won't learn too much.

My experience with my BMWs and Mercedes is that there are all sorts of little interesting idiosyncracies they have, that you only discover by fluke or by reading the manual. Not to belittle VW, but I guess they go for a more "it has what it needs and nothing that it doesn't" sort of approach. This is good, less things to break/go wrong/malfunction. Also, I like my cars to be complete.

Thanks for the link - I just bought a CD version of that the other day. In reading the various posts on tdiclub etc, it sounds like the Bentley is the holy grail for VW (as I have found it is for BMW and Mercedes).
