The manual is a good , apparently almost unused condition. The only reason I have listed it as used is that I obtained it as part of a job lot with some manuals I needed, not directly from Thatchams.
This is a genuine Motor Industry Repair Research Center (Thatcham) Guide to body repairs. It is produced for professional body repairs by the insurance industry and not available for general sale . There are a number of guides for different models that are issued as new models come out - some of which I have listed /will be listing on Ebay.
This covers the Volkswagen Polo 3 and 5 door from 1995 to 1999. It covers the all models and engine sizes including the L, CL, GL,GLX in all engine sizes. It contains all the detailed information necessary to make approved and safe body repairs.
It contains exploded diagrams of body panel assemblies and details of removal and reassembly (including factory weld positions and recommended repair joint weld positions). Where part panels are to be fitted it provides details of approved cut positions.
Technical data includes body alignment measurements and repair time schedules (useful for costing the repair even if you are not doing it yourself).
It consists of 54 pages and in detail covers:
