Hi All
Can anybody recommend a good workshop manual (preferably VW original) for a Polo MKV 1.2TSI 66 plate. Haynes is not detailed enough as looking for fully identified exploded diagrams/parts identification etc that might be used by a garage technician. Had a look at Easymanuals and also Workshop Repair Manuals Online (eBay). Also tried cardiagn.com but it wouldn't open.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Re: Workshop Manual
ETKA online is the workshop manual, I believe you buy time to view.

Re: Workshop Manual
There was also Erwin, good for manuals and electrical, but that has now been shut down for private use by VW.
I missed out on getting the wiring diagrams.
For part listings I tend to use DLinker app. https://ifinterface.com/page/page3.php
Or https://webautocats.com
I have a ton of repair manuals sourced from online and other forum members, but they're totally disorganised. Still need to go through them and sort.
I have ETKA application somewhere, but it's enormous.
Tend to just use ETKA online for part numbers and diagrams.
There is also ELSA for repair manuals. Something like superetka.com will probably do.

It takes a couple of minutes to organize them.
It's a shame that many of you can't see the images in my threads on this forum (I detect a certain envy of knowledge; many are bothered by my sharing and do their best to attempt something they'll never be able to do
).

I take this opportunity to tell you that... 'Beware of AIs and GPT chats':
- They lie. YES!

- They make things up when they don't know how to respond. YES!

- They use free forums (and not other shi.ty social media), without paying for knowledge, to get answers. YES!

- They try to fraternize when they detect who they're talking to in order to get the answers they need... like those friendly vultures whose intention is to devour you. YES!

I've already written this before on this forum:
..."Artificial intelligences know almost everything, except what I know, and the important things"...

That is where I bought my workshop manual from for my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI, I also bought one for my 2011 Audi S4, both work for me, they are just a copy taken from erwin at a point in time, but so far so good.

Re: Workshop Manual
Thanks for the link RUM4MO!
I purchased and downloaded the PDF:
Porsche_Cayenne_4L_Turbo_9YB_Coupe_Workshop_Manual_2019-2023
which includes the wiring diagrams.
Not related to the download or information on the website:
PORSCHE:
- For workshop work, the procedures are similar to erWin (VW group).
- For wiring diagrams, it's okay, but the structure in which the wiring diagrams are displayed is somewhat outdated. They look like schematics for televisions, radios, tamagotchis or other components...
I prefer erWin βthe components/wiring are easier to visualize in erWin PDFs-.
I'm referring to the colors, thickness, and wire routing.
E.g.

In fact, the wire thickness isn't shown... we'll have to figure it out.
Compared to erWin's beautiful diagrams, these look like ant trails.
