are they worth it for the do it your self guy?

 

There are two options - the paperback or the program -I have both, and I love both. The paperback is really easy to find your way around in and its even better to have next to you when your working on your car. The program is nice because it.....well it has everything you could ever want, but you have to know how to use and find your way around, if you don't it sucks

 

Yes.
Although, I have a $15 Haynes manual, it is good and a lot cheaper than the Bently.
But yes, a haynes or bently manual is a must for a DIYer. That, and a code reader or vag com. My code reader has paid for itself many times over. Its not a vag-com, but on the plus side, it works with all of my vehicles. It will read and clear the audi codes just fine.
