About Volkswagen

Volkswagen was set up in 1937 by the German Labour Front and revived after the Second World War under British Army officer Ivan Hirst. The Golf is its best-selling car, with more than 37 million built.

Same car, different badge

Golf was sold in the US and Canada as the Rabbit, so check both Golf and Rabbit manuals.
Passat B5 (1996–2005) uses the same B5 platform as the first Audi A4.
Touareg (first generation, 2002–2010) shares its platform with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7.
Routan is a Chrysler minivan, built alongside the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.

Volkswagen Group engines are identified by three- or four-letter codes, such as ALH or BLV, listed with each manual below.
