ok i am confused ,,i have been reading the forums and trying to determine what to buy for a repair manual/cd or what ? not to start a war ,but what to buy ? i want to all my work myself ,,i have been ASE,honda ,dodge ,gm and ford certified in my life ,so i know my way around shop manuals ,so i need to know what is the most comprehensive coverage of the car ,,, it is an 01 A6 2.8 quattro ,,please help
thanks tony b

 

My vote is for the bentley manual. Is is not like a chiltons or haynes manual. They have more of a walk you through a spark plug change layout but leaves out a lot of usefull info, where as the Bentley just basically shows you where they are and tells you the torque specs, plug types and so forth. I also find having the manual with me in the garage is helpful. Bringing the laptop outside and using it with greasy hands would not be okay for me.

 

thanks jeff ,,now a stupid question ,and this is what has confused me ,,do you mean bentley as in the car ,or is this the name of the manual and where do i find them ,,thanks again ,,,i realy like the audi forums ,easy to use and everybody is very helpful thanks tony b

 

Bentley is the brand of the manual, I bought mine from Amazon.com for around 65.00 dollars.

thanks again ,,will order one tonight ,also looking on the sight for some headlights ,,reading the post about HID's trying 2 decide

 

I love my HIDs, I would never go back. EVER. I wish I had OEM hid fixtures, but, the halogen fixtures with aftermarket hids in them work just fine. My next car will have OEM hids. Road signs glow in the distance, overhead hwy signs glow so you can actually read them. Anything that can reflect glows like they are under a black light. When it is raining though, halogen bulbs for me seem to work a little better when on asphault. In the rain the hids still light up the lane markings better, but the light on the asphault seems to dissapear. I bought the cheapest kit off ebay, I believe I paid around 135.00 with shipping and so far have had no problems and they came with a one year warranty. Get the 4300k bulbs.

I think the the bently CD repair manual is the better choice. I like the search features plus the step by step guide and you can also print the chapter or page you want.
In my opinionthe CD repair manual is a greate investment.
I bought mine from www.audicarparts.com for like $60
