slartybartfast Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Hi Guys, Got my own copy of Elsawin and not impressed with it so far, So maybe I am doing something wrong? I put in all my model details ie. VW sharan 1996 2.0 ady engine. All I get is a picture of a waterpump when I look in engine cooling with a hyperlink which basically says 'remove/fit waterpump' but if I click it it just states 'webpage not found' I think it is trying to connect to VW. I bought a ford Gal haynes manual, this obviously does not show any details for my Sharan. Getting really fed up that there are no decent tools/books out there for us to maintain our own cars! Can anyone else get this info with their own copy of Elsawin please?? Seems pretty poor when you can't even get any info in a digital workshop manual. I would happily pay a good price for this software legally. Just seems to me to be another rip off by VW to me. Thanks for any help guys Quote
Rallim Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 I've tried on my copy and get the same problem. :lol: Would appear that the relevant pages have not been included. Maybe you could find another VW / Audi vehicle with the same engine that you could get some info for. Gordon. Quote
Bigjeeze Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 I wouldn't swear to it not being sure what engine is in a 96 2.0 Sharan - but to all intents and purposes all three marques are pretty much the same vehicle - So the Ford manual will cover all of the VW/Seat versions except for interior trim etc. Maybe that Sharan has a VW engine in it? If not then it's a Ford. Quote
slartybartfast Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Posted June 14, 2007 Cheers guys for your help with this, the Sharan does indeed have a VW 2.0 ady engine. I made the mistake of buying the haynes manual thinking that it may help.... fat chance lol. Will have to try some other VW cars now because of this. Elsawin, not much help to man nor beast really..but I think that it is about it!The engine itself is completely different to the ford 2.0DOHC engine that I used to have in my Granada scorpio. Cheers guys and hope that not all things are this difficult! Quote
Guest wolfie Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 from what I can gather the ADY engine/water pump lay out is the same as the AFN, AHU and AGV deisel engines set up, that should give you a better choice of vehicles/engines to choose from on Elsawin Quote
