Audi A4, S4 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Includes Avant, Cabriolet, RS4 Repair Manual on DVD-ROM (Windows 2000/XP)

The reader that you have to use to view the manual is not compatible with Windows OS's that are later than Vista. There is a work around by setting up a virtual Win XP environment but that is alot of work just to view the manual. Unacceptable for a manual I just paid $130 for. This info about compatibility NEEDS to be in the product description.

The CD kind of sucks because you can't install it on any new operating systems. But once you get it installed somewhere and registered you can go online to access it digitally from any computer so it doesn't really matter. If you own and maintain your Audi, you need this.

I bought this thinking I can use it to make repairs on my S4. I was wrong. The DVD-ROM only works with Windows 2000 or XP. Those systems are long gone, so I can not use the repair manual. What a jip. Do not buy this product. It is useless.

Everything you need to get the job done.

Not a "How To" manual! Use requires internet product registration. The required EBahn reader software does not work well with Windows Vista (probably requires eBahn updates etc). Works much better with Windows XP but there is a delay before the manual page is displayed (reader has to decrypt the page).

Lots of good information in this DVD-ROM repair manual but it was not developed or intended as a general repair resource. This was developed for the professional and is intended to be used in conjunction with the factory VAG testing equipment or Ross-Tech VCDS software. If you are looking for a more "general" resource consider a paper copy Bentley service manual.

I bought this repair manual in the hopes of having the definitive technical resource for my 2006 A4. In the past I purchased paper manual from Bentley Publishers for a 2000 VW Passat that was satisfactory. In this case it's another story. Information is excruciatingly difficult to find and when found very limited and often omitting the substance you were hoping for or need to perform tasks. The search function is dismal and unable to limit search results to your particular model - even though the software has a VIN decode function (for what point I do not know). As the other reviewer stated you must register to use. For all the formality of the registration process you would think you're getting some kind of states' secrets. Stay away it's not worth the money. I haven't tried them yet but the Chilton or Hayes manuals have got to be better.
