Re: Bentley Audi Manuals vs. Alldata

[arnberg@NCSMSG01ES.ntc.nokia.com (Arnberg Tommy NTC/MSG-Es)]

Hi !

Has anyone  bought  Alldata  CD  ROM   for  Audi 200 TQ   with  3B   20V 
  Engine ?

Recomendations  ?
Is  the  ROM  as good as  Bentley Manuals   or better  ?
ROM  price seems to be reasonable   compared to Bentley´s

CD ROM is  available from:
*****************************************************************************
http://www.alldata.tsb.com:80/pro/TSB/910567_en.html
Please select a 1991 Audi 200 Quattro 20V Sedan Engine

[ Select a different model | Select a different make | Select a different 
year | Return to the ALLDATA Home Page ]

According to Linda@Carlsen, the shop manuals go for about $ 375, (don't hold
me to this, as they might have gone up since I talked to her) and at that
price, for only $ 125 more, you will have the *same* info as the Audi shop
mechanics have! Thank goodness Bentley finally has them coming, in any case!
