Default Looked at the Bentley CD today, now I'm depressed!

Mechanical sections, take-apart, etc.. OK. Electrical diagrams SUCK!.
Tried a search for "mirrors" Most links in the diagrams index point to a picture of the fuse box!. Many wires end at rectangular boxes with numbers in them, no links, nothing. After about 30 minutes of searching, I finally found the power mirror diagram (tect case), but still no connector shape/pinout diagrams.
Perhaps I've been spoiled by Volvo's electrical diagram book, which has every subsystem's info on facing pages, no jumping around.
If this is the "official" service manual, I'm not sure I want to buy an S4, since no one at the dealer will be able to fix it!.


BTW: links for a web-based literature ordering system appeared on the invoice. It looks good, nearly anything you could want for any Audi model (Except a good service manual)

Default I disagree, the electrical diagrams were awesome in my case

Very easy to follow, but for $100 NOT A GOOD VALUE!!
