[V6-12v] Substitutes for VW tools (electrical)

[James4ihl at aol.com]

Thanks, that really is very useful. More often than not (especially with 
electrical problems) one is forced to weigh the cost of buying the tool with the 
cost of simply taking the car into an Audi workshop. Hopefully, this will make 
that less of a dilemma.

Happy New Year
James
