When a reprint is shipped only the updated book is replaced. We still have
a 94 General Engine repair manual. If you want a print out of the codes I
can get for you. Without a VAG 1551 or a Generic Scan tool they will be of
no use. I beleive as of 1996 VW had to make the codes readable by Generic
"Snap On" scanners. Before that only a VAG 1551 could be used.
