Can anyone recommend a good service manual for my Canadian 1994 VW Golf
Turbo Diesel? I need head torque settings and such, plus more.

If you are getting one manual, get the Bentley. I have the Bentley for
my '87 and was given the Hayne's as a gift later. The Hayne's ain't bad,
but the Bentley is more comprehensive.

Do you have the Bentley paper manual or the CD's. What are the pro's and
Con's of the CD's over the books?

I have the CD for my 2000 Beetle. The electrical circuit drawings on the CD
are terrible. Having the appearance of a very low resolution fax. Add to
this the fact that each family of circuit drawings is spread over several
pages, troubleshooting by circuit tracing becomes a very cumbersome chore.
Maybe it's a generational thing but I prefer the paper manual, even though
the page corners eventually do get covered by dirty smudges and
fingerprints.

This is the type of advice I'm looking for, Is it possible to print out the
pages so that you can take them to the shop, get them really dirty and then
just make new copies?

Yes, any page of any document that is on any CD can be printed out. At least
I have never seen a CD that would block printing. However, I have a Bentley
paper manual. I don't see how a CD would be any better, unless it also
includes video clips showing you how to do something. Maybe it does.

I'm just wondering if the CD has more detailed information and if you can
possibly "Zoom" in for more detailed wiring etc. Also that ability to search
using keyword makes some things easier to find.
