Manual Service for Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Gti 1999-2005
Volkswagen Golf Mk4
Was the best selling car in Europe in 2001 (though it slipped to second place, behind the Peugeot 206, in 2002).
The Mk4 was a deliberate attempt to take the Volkswagen Golf series further upmarket, with a high-quality interior and higher equipment levels, to compete with the Audi A3.
Overall the level of maturity of the design and its target audience were also evident — the humorous plays on the game of golf which resulted in special edition models of the three earlier generations being called "Golf Ryder", "Golf Driver", not to mention the GTI's "golf ball" gearlever knob were dropped, and replaced with a more subtly styled golf ball knob.

Mercedes SLS AMG
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-AMG to replace the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. This is the first car designed by Mercedes-AMG and is described by Mercedes-Benz as a spiritual successor to the 300 SL Gullwing. was presented in 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and started selling in 2010. In 2010, the SLS AMG was the safety car in Formula 1, and was in the category of the FIA GT3 version SLS AMG GT3.

Design
The SLS AMG was designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival by Mark Fetherston from October 2006 to April 2007. The SLS AMG has also adapted the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, and the doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds (41 kg) to the car. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.
Although there is some overlapping in price and performance, the lighter SLS AMG is considered more of a sporty track-oriented car, compared to the Mercedes-Benz SL which is a more autobahn-focused grand tourer especially with its optional V12 engine. Compared to the SLS AMG Roadster, the SL is a hardtop convertible with technological and comfort amenities, and it also has available heated and cooled seats with a massage function. The SLS AMG has also been said to be one of the cheapest cars on the market with an unusual door design.

The Mercedez Benz McLaren MP4-12C
McLaren MP4-12C
The McLaren MP4-12C, also simply called the 12C,[3] is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. It is the first production car wholly designed and built by McLaren since the McLaren F1 in 1998. The car's final design was unveiled in September 2009, and was launched in mid-2011.
The MP4-12C features a carbon fibre composite chassis, and is powered by a mid-mounted McLaren M838T 3.8-litre V8, twin-turbo engine developing approximately 616 bhp (459 kW; 625 PS) and around 443 lb·ft (601 N·m) of torque. The car makes use of Formula 1-sourced technologies such as "brake steer",[4] where the inside rear wheel is braked during fast cornering to reduce understeer. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a seven-speed seamless Shift dual-clutch gearbox. A convertible version of the car called the MP4-12C Spider, or simply the 12C Spider, is also available.

BMW E30 RALLY VERSION
Having successfully conquered Formula 1, BMW Motorsport returned to the familiar territory of touring car racing in the mid-1980s. Instead of using an existing model, the German manufacturer decided to create an altogether more potent version of the recently introduced 'E30' 3-series. At that time the popular German and European touring car championships were held under the Group A regulations, which stated that a car could only be homologated if at least 5000 examples within twelve months had to be constructed. This meant that BMW not only had to build a new racing car, but also a homologation special for the street.
Even though BMW had been very successful in the previous years with Turbocharged engines, they decided against using forced induction for the new 'M3'. The main reason was that it would not be very practical on a road car designed for every day use. The most powerful engine available in the E30 at the time was the 2.5 litre straight six cylinder engine, but that was determined to be too long and heavy for this application. Instead the Motorsport team decided to create a brand new four cylinder engine, which with its shorter crankshaft would be able to rev more easily compared to the 'six'.
Designed in just fourteen days, it is no surprise that the 'S14' was a mix of existing parts. Simply put, it was the M1 engine with two cylinders cut off. The block was derived from the two-litre 'four' found in the 320, equipped with a DOHC, sixteen valve head. Sharing its bore and stroke with the bigger six cylinder engine, the new S14 displaced just over 2.3 litre. In stock form it produced a cool 200 bhp, with the competition spec engine putting out at least 300 bhp at 8000 rpm. Shortly after the M3's introduction, the car was equipped with a catalyst, knocking five horsepower off.
Mated to a Getrag five speed gearbox, the S14 was mounted in an extensively modified 3-series chassis. With its racing intention in mind, the M3 chassis was stripped down to its bare necessities, resulting in a kerb weight of just 1200 kg. The suspension and brakes were also extensively modified, giving the street car close to racing car handling characteristics. Externally, the M3 could be easily distinguished from its more docile brothers by wider wheelarches, a front airdam, extended rocker panels, a large rear wing and two small M3 badges front and rear.
After a summer of rumors, the 'E30' M3 was first shown to the public during the Frankfurt Motorshow in the fall of 1985. Despite its high price and the many other potent homologation specials available at the time, the M3 was an instant hit. Instead of producing the minimum number of 5000 cars, nearly 15,000 of the stock model were built when production ceased in October of 1990. In those five years, several 'Evolution' models were also built with a 500 car production run to homologate new parts for racing. There was also a convertible version, which was noticeably heavier, but with 786 examples produced still a good seller.
Further helping build the M3's legacy was the success on the track and even in rallying. In the late 1980s, a variety of racing versions clinched many national and international touring car titles, including the highly acclaimed DTM trophy in 1987 and 1989 against very strong competition from Ford and Mercedes-Benz. There was also success in the World Rally Championship (BMW's first in 14 years), with the M3 taking victory in the 1987 Corsica Rally. Olaf Manthey's team further increased the M3's racing record by scoring a one-two in the Nürburgring 24 Hours race.
