I am looking for a service manual for a 1990 passat
that was originally sold in Spain. The only book I
can find is the one offered by Bentley Publishers
which claims to cover the models sold in the US
and Canada. Does anyone know if this book would also
(more or less) cover cars sold in Spain?

If it's (your car) is a 2.0 16V (or any other engine covered by the
US/Canada Bentley (which for a '90 I believe is only the 2.0 16V engine), it
should be close enough. If the car you have has an engine not available in
the US/Canada, then I wouldn't use the US/Canadian Bentley for it.

I have seen on Ebay repair manuals that cover the "Passat" from either the
70s (Dasher here) or 80s (Quantum here)

Here is one on Ebay........please read the complete description since it
includes up to the year 2000 supposedly and ships Worldwide. It might
include options that were not available in the USA. ;-)
