Engines across the range: 1.8L I4 — 109 cu in, SOHC · 2.0L I4 — 121 cu in, SOHC.

FAQQuestions about the Pointer manual
Which Pointer years does this manual cover?
Every year from 1998 to 2009 — 12 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.
Is this the OEM Volkswagen Pointer manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Volkswagen published for the Pointer, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.
Does it include Pointer wiring diagrams?
Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every Pointer manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.
Why do some Pointer years cost more?
Every Pointer year is $34.99.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.
How do I get the manual after purchase?
It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
