All the dealers around here have computer workstations in every work bay.
That being said, none of the dealers around here would work on any of the
cars listed in the earlier link.  Too old...

Cheers,

Subject: Re: Microfiche or Bentley (paper)

I don't know what the dealers are using now.  The site states:

"Repair Manuals that were only available on microfiche are now
available on CD with the publication of the Volkswagen Official
Factory Microfiche Repair Information Archived on CD-ROM.  The CDs are
comprehensive, capture the original look and feel of microfiche and
include the added benefit of hyperlinks to allow simple access and
navigation through the repair groups. They are a valuable source of
original service and repair information for 1969 to 1994 Volkswagens
featuring printable pages and an easy to use PDF format."

Does this sound like it would be "more better" than a paper Bentley?
Or just different format, but same content.  Anyone have firsthand
experience with this "fiche" version of the repair manual?
