[s-cars] Bentley vs. other manuals

[Vincent Frégeac]

I've never compared the paper and CD version for the S4/S6 but based on
the paper Bentley for the 90Q20V and the CD for the S6, you need to know
where you're going with the CD. The explanations are much shorter to say
the less. But the CD has one big advantage:
- You print what you need for the repair
- You use it as a paper towel when flipping around the pages during the
repair
- And you throw everything to the garbage when you're finished.
No need anymore to wash your hands every 10 min. because you don't
remember what's exactly the torque you should put on this particular
bolt. And the CD stays as clean as new, especially if you copy
everything on the hard drive as suggested by a lister a few weeks ago.
Keeping the paper version clean is another story as, with its 3", it's
not really easy to manipulate over a scanner or a photocopier.

I found the CGT Haynes less complete than the 90Q20V Bentley but it's
more beginner oriented. When the repair you're looking for is in there,
you'll find twice then explanation you'll ever find in a Bentley, even
the paper version. But you're not exactly a beginner, Taka :P

Listers-
Partial Audi content:

I need some suggestions/advice on whether or not the Haynes manual
for the VW New Beetle is worth getting or should I just get the
Bentley?

Also, the Bentley or Haynes for the A4 (B5 chassis)- the paper version
lacks a lot of the wiring diagrams but is the CD worth getting?

Is it easy to use and is there some sort of onerous installation
process?
