When I did the timing belt, I found an error in my Bently under: Fuel system-Diesel, 5.4 Camshaft/Injection pump drive belt, step 7. Remove the 2 bolts and one nut holding the lower drive belt cover, then remove the cover.
Problem is it left out the crucial step of: remove the 4 Allen head bolts on the vibration damper and remove the vibration damper, before the cover can be removed.
I called Bently in Cambridge MA and asked if there are other errors and was led to this link of 3 reported errors:

hello - didn't know there was a book that covered the Turbo Diesel?
we have haynes manuals over here but only for the petrol!
Would this cover a UK spec GTD (SB code engine) does anyone know?
Yes it does, but you will still need to keep an eye on this forum for the information that VW doesn't want to share to the European customers.
The SB is a Bloody good engine if you get a good one. But won't suffer fools if you don't get the timing belt right.
no idea - bought it with 230000 miles - belt was done at 190000 so due soon. hoping to time it in with advanced timing - 0.95 to 1.05 i think as per guides on this site and the governor mod etc but need to find someone who i can trust to do this.
off to ebay now to find that book!
Nate, if you find someone selling them in the UK let me know
I've got the normal one too and doesn't help now I've got a GTD
Mind you I got most of my info from the guys @ the GGTI forum
Good bunch of people.
