Ken, hi
I just wonder how on earth does one know that this is a VAG publication which covers our whole range of T3 on 45 pages! Our trusty/rusty Bentleys used a few more trees to archive that. hartis

Sure... In the world of NOT!
IIRC, VW dealers here are on some other system now. I don't think it
is even related to ETKA. It's an online system which allows them to
log onto VW's central computer to retrieve information such as SKC
(secret key code) for newer VW's with immobilizer keys.
Even my independent VW repair shop pulls out a small laptop to look
over schematics and such as they work on newer cars. They work on
enough T3's that nobody around there seems to need any reference
material. I show the parts guy an item, he quotes the partnumber by
heart. Those are what I call pros. Your never find a fiche reader
among their wrenches.
