I would go over there and find out, but I have to go on an errand shortly. Otherwise, I would be happy to find out. It is *possible.* >How come they (Bentley) do not sell it on CD for my car (1989 Audi 100)? Damn good question. I suppose they want to keep the work in their shops where they can make the MOST money. >| A -physical- shop manual weights 20 pounds, takes a day to put > >I found factory manual on eBay for $105 and shiping was ~ $50 :-) That's right, Yvan. It is big, it is expensive, it is heavy, and you'll never even use or need 99.99% of the information in there. That's why I would go for the *online* service, IF they have documentation for your model car ( and year ). >| Sometimes it makes more sense to bring the dang thing into a qualified >| service shop. > >Every time I go to my mechanic I am more and more convinced that I >should do repair by myself, since where I am there is no such thing as >"qualified service shop". And Audi service is to expensive for me. Exactly so Yvan. All service shops charge you twice. The technician-baffoon get's 1/2, and the *house* gets 1/2. And when I say baffoon, I am paying them a compliment. I had my rotors turned at a brake shop, and when I got em back from the ****** who did the work, they were grooved so badly in a spiral pattern I could have used them for a barber pole. NEVER AGAIN ! These *service shop* guys out here, VERY few of them know any more about what they are doing than you and I do, very few. Most are retards that are hired for the manual labor. No small wonder that their first names are Manny. Lg |

Many procedures are reasonably complete, others aren't. Daniel, I own two alldata subscriptions - one for a GM, the other for a Chrysler product. While I am only recently finding that not all their information is complete, I have consistently noticed that what they do have is word-for-word out of the FSM. Figures and schematics are an exact copy of the ones in the FSM. You've obviously seen different?

Maybe 'blow it out your ass' or 'go **** yourself'. Damn, I just showed him how to spell the f-word. --Geoff |
