Subject:Re: Bentley on CD?
From:Jeffrey Olson

The year goes from 2000 to 1983.  The first cd seems to be the program
with frames for year, make, model.  The second is #6 of 8 cds with
specific cars on them.  This cd has information for 1983-2000 Audi, BMW,
Merceds, merkur, Porsche & Volkswagen.  The volkswagen models covered
are cabriolet, golf, jetta, quantum, scirocco and vanagon.  A lot of the
information is generic - overviews of how systems work, but there is
lots of model and year specific information.  It has technical bulletins
as well.
