I'd been doing various bits of work on the track car before the 'Ring trip and found myself leafing through the chapters of Haynes manuals, often three, as they don't list the same data consistently. Add in a hybrid 02A and it means reaching for the Passat manual... so thought I'd compile it into a list to have on the wall on the garage. Posting it here in case anyone else can benefit.

Limited usefulness for most, but handy for some. Mk2 Syncro/Rallye rear axle torque settings, from VW workshop manual: I have some more syncro-specific torque settings without pics, but how do I do tables?
