Hi,

I've also got a 75 2.0TS which I'm doing most of the work on myself.
When I went searching for a decent manual, I only found one avaialble
here in Sweden. It is in German <sigh> and is published by Bucheli
Verlag.
I find it aimed at experienced mechanics (prof.?), but by reading
figures and trying to reestablish some of that german language once
learned in school I find it very usable.

Just a little side note. Don't think you have to worry too much about
changing timing belts on the TS, because there ain't one and the chain
is very durable?.
