The Bentley is a good start, it is needed to understand and repair the
car yourself, of to know what the Mech is doing (sometimes to make sure
they are knowledgeable enough to do the job).

I'd look around for the Haynes manual as a supplement to the Bentley, it
offers a slightly different perspective, and stay away from Chilton
unless free- it is not very helpful.

There are a few books out there pertaining to the history, lots of cool
photos of interiors and such but those two repair manuals will be the
most help mechanical wise.

See? But the Haynes isn't controversial, it's the C word that kicks up
the dust.  :)

Your question about your car being a Bosch model is good for a chuckle,
(please don't take offense). There are Bosch parts on your car but they
are just an OEM, Original Equipment Manufacturer. 

Much info can be gleaned from the <http://www.scirocco.org> web site,
esp the history and links section, check it out.
