you guys would want to know about it
Audi has a website called "eRwin" where you can download their tech manuals
it's a little unfriendly in usuage,and it assumes you know their system (computer selections) but once you get past the hiccups, you've got the service manuals, DTC codes, tech bulletins, procedures for everything
like i posted earlier, i ended up going with a VW R32 and someone turned me onto the VW "eRwin"
btw eRwin stands for something like "electronic Repair and Workshop yada yada"
one of the computer hiccups, once you've paid the $17 (i'm assuming same price as the VW manuals), you download the manual and then have to down load an "unsealer" program (an encryption svc that keeps you from saving the manual to a format you can pass around)
you can print the manuals out onto paper but nothing else
well, that unsealer program, when you install it, alls fine
then you go and open the downloaded manual
it opens in adobe
but will only show you the 3rd from last page
the last three pages are the liability disclaimer but there's no instruction to read and then clik the green "OK" button 3 pages down
i tried for two hours to scroll back to first page, not knowing about the green button, and finally ended up printing out the whole manual (electric repairs manual) before i figured out
what it wanted from me
anyway, here be link http://erwin.audi.de/erWinAudi/

actually found another interesting tip that
folks on the VW boards are claiming that increasing the ground field on the electrical system, engines are running stronger, better gas mileage, radio receiption better, hesitation in their Drvie by wire system is diminished
in other words, seems daisy chaining a series of ground wires in your engine bay seems to do everything short of improving your sex life

for the cost of $30 - $40 it isn't expensive to try
this is apparently an old fix
curious if anybody here has tried on their TT?
