Yeah it is a little, but you print up all the pages that you might need and
if the pages get dirty during the job...throw them away and print new ones!



I see computers here going for $65 or less with Win2K

I would recommend a laptop so you can become more portable and expandable.
You can even purchase the ross-tech.com vag-com interface and use it with
the laptop.

Install Azureus and eMule.
Then search on eMule for ETKA 7, and Elsawin. Do a torrent (demonoid)
search for Elsawin 3.3 and you will fins a large torrent and a small
one, the data and install programs respectively. From the large torrent
you only need the rar elements, the poster accidentally included the
un-rared elements as well (cab files etc) making the torrent twice as
large as necessary, so using Azureus download only the rar parts.

Follow the install prog instructions, then install the main Elsawin 3.3
prog. Then install ETKA 7. You now have complete online computerised
parts and service for VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda.

Enjoy !
