Just the engine manual is 608 pages. Getting quotes online is from £70 to about £25 for a single copy.
However tried to upload the engine manual as a pdf and every place i tried came up with an error so dont know if its a copyright thing or something.
Dont think my printer could handle that amount of pages lol

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] BGB Rev 2 Turbo Wanted
Worked out using my own canon mx535 printer with a xl black ink cartridge which supposedly does 600 pages (got a bit left on the black thats already in it). Then there is 608 pages which i would print on both sides so 304 a4 pieces including an a4 folder and a hole punch im probably looking at about £25 - £30 to print myself plus the time printing it, hole punching and putting it in the folder.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] BGB Rev 2 Turbo Wanted
ordered a cheap laser printer so will print my own engine manual.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] BGB Rev 2 Turbo Wanted
600 pages! that's gonna be a beast of a book, although like you I always prefer to have a hardcopy of workshop manuals.
Just priced it up at officeworks here in Aus and comes it at about £30 printed and bound, not bad actually

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] BGB Rev 2 Turbo Wanted
608 pages double sided so actually ONLY 304 pages lol
This is the engine manual.
The complete manuals with extras and addons is over ten times the file size so guessing around 6000 plus pages...
Thats a hell of a book lol

Christ, I know when flicking through the PDF I did think to myself that it was probably one of if not the most comprehensive car manual i've ever read.
