Default My strategy is twofold.

1. When I have a specific problem I research this forum and Paul's now famous Audipages. I also have access to "On Demand" through the college library so I use that. So far nothing has come up that I would require a Bentley manual for. But I woouldn't hesitate to pick one up, or a VAG-COM, as soon as the logic of the situation demands it.

2. I watch the forum to learn about problems that others are having and I file this info in memory.

I have modest goals, however - maintenance. I once used it to pull vines off of my chimney. I hope I don't get thrown off the list for this.

I have Bentley I have the vag tool, thanks to PaulW I have access to audipages and thanks to all of you guys things are pretty easy troublshooting my Audis. But reading the information from the engineering side of view is completely different.

Find the A8 book on Amazon or eBay that we were discussing in the last week or so.

Default If you're going to own one of these things for a while, and do your own work,

just go ahead and buy a VAG-COM in advance of need.
