Default RE: Paper or Plastic? and other DIY service issues

What about all those 3 digit codes, 3L3, 8GL, etc? Are the sunroof, heated seats and cd changer part of packages? I'd like to to get an idea what was stock, and what if anything, has been added aftermarket. Here is snapshot until I can take some good ones.

Default RE: Paper or Plastic? New Bentley CD Release Sept 2nd

I don't feel tempted by those cheap repair manuals on Ebay anymore.
Here is how one transaction turned out.....

Audi Manuals on CD Repair Manual A4 A6 TT 5000 Quattro $13.99 BuyItNow

Negative feedback rating (from buyer): bootleg copy, almost none repair info, asked for refund, no resp
Seller ****** ( 313Feedback score is 100 to 499) Apr-06-05 06:37

Negative feedback rating (response from seller) Unreasonable buyer expects too much from $20 cds. Asked no ?'s before auction!
Buyer (******) ( 200Feedback score is 100 to 499) Apr-06-05 08:21 Private
Reply by *******(buyer): $20 for a useless bootleg car repair cd is a lot, just beware

Sooo....
I highly recommend that eveyone go out and buy the NEW Sept. 2, 2005 release of Bentley's Audi Service Manual CD ( http://www.bentleypublishers.com/product.htm?code=ab55 ) that is due to come out Sept 2, 2005.

And if anyone is looking to unload their old version CD (or a book), I've got 50 bucks burnin' a hole in my pocket.
There should be a fair number of used ones hitting the market soon.
