Default Alternative to Bentley manual?

I'd really like a complete breakdown with torque values, full-page part diagrams, and locations/pictures/procedures/descriptions for all the minor components around the engine. Does anything like that exist?

What do the repair shops use?

I am pretty sure the audi shops use ELSA.

My subscription to AllData is "ok", it does describe replacement of most components and contains tips and diagrams. The bentley manual, while more expensive is much more complete.

My experience with Alldata was awful. Example: no info on how to remove HP2 calipers. Nothing. Zip.

Mostly appeared to be (bad) scans of the incomplete (paper) service manual.
