Parts Fiche, digital on PC

[tkomljan@mobility.com (Komljanec, Tony)]

I have the ALLDATA CDROM, with both the Technical Service Bulletins and the 
Service info for my 93 100CSQ.  The service info is poor and often leads you 
back to the TSB which is frustrating if you haven't paid for it yet.  If you 
want explainations, forget it.  Nothing like the VW manual's that are very 
comprehensive, explaining WHY things are done, the way they are.  Electrical 
diagrams and sketches are bitmaped (scanned) right out of the original 
manual.  These have to be printed to make sense out of them, or to use.

The TSB is great IF you have a documented problem.  Example:   A/C Control 
Head On-Board Diagnostic Display, documentation is great for the 
hackers..... etc.

For the car enthusiast, being able to compare a couple of later model years 
without the full subscription price would be a bonus, but is not offered.

I'd still buy a paper based manual if I could find one (once my warranty 
expires).
