Hi I got a question, ok so my car is a 1990 and the Front clip is a 1995. waht factory service manual shoudl I buy? will a 1992 manual work or do I gotta buya 1994 manual? I need answers ASAP biding ends in 10 hours for the 1992 manual. thanks guys!

 

why don't you just download both from carfiche? Either will be pretty close to the same.

 

honestly, I'd get the manual closest to the year of your car. Here's my philosophy...

The FSM is for the entire car, not just the engine. 94+ TT's (and all NA's) had a very different power steering system than 90-93 TT's (your info only talks about the front clip you have, not whether or not your car is a TT or NA to begin with). So if your car has the steerting system (HICAS) of a 90TT, you'll want an FSM for a 90-93 since it'll be closest to what you have.

The engine itself for the car changed very little from 90-95, so get the closest manual to your year with this too because the only really different engine is from 96, and you don't have to worry about that. Also there's the lack of the AIV system after a 93 (I think) which would make the 93+ have some different piping, all the more reason you'd want a manual that pertains to your car.

Honestly, considering the small chassis differences over the years, it'll be the most accurate to have the FSM that matches the year of your chassis, rather than just your engine (since like I said, the engine didn't change much over the years).

 

just get free one's off the net and compare whatever u need to read on them...

 

zlover has some good points. He brought up a good point, do you have an NA or TT chassis? If you have an NA chassis, any TT FSM will include Hicas stuff that will not be accurate with your chassis.

 

he has an NA chassis. remember, he wreked his NA, so hes doing a tt swap.

 

no, I don't follow him that closely...then you may be better off just downloading them or buying both if you're that intent on buying it.

 

Thsi is the thing I havea 1990 N?A Chassis. and I haeva 1995 clip on the way. so I dunno. the car will be made into RHD as well. so I dunno itf that will affect the manual.

 

for the most part everything is the same. some items will just be flip-flopped like the dash, ECU location, main car wire harness, steering system...etc.
