Justice Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 Brought mine for 99p from E-Bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=4572573437 Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 What is it? Fords TechnicalInformation System, an electronic workshop manual and a bit more :lol: a source of info for big jobs! it doesnt cover such things as oil changes and the more mondane service practices :huh: it's handy when you need to strip down major items on the vehicle :o suspension, gearbox and engine removal etc as helpfully suggested :unsure: try Ebay or ask on here usually a helpfull member will sort you out a copy for a small fee :o Quote
wytonpjs Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 In trying to get to the bottom of my recent problems I got a copy of the VAG equivalent to TIS - ELSA Win. It comes on 2 DVDs and an installation CD (available off Ebay) and it is far superior to TIS. Not only does it use the same VAG-COM codes but it has more diagrams and test specs. Disadvantage is that you have to feed it spoof Sharan details to call up the relevant info. Overall, I suggest that this is also an essential! You still need TIS for the bulletins and certain Ford specifics, but ELSA Win is fantastic. Quote
Justice Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 I was going to buy those one's but no way was I going to pay Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Been tempted to get hold of a copy of ELSA Win, but I have heard of a few dodgy copies going around! a fw glitches in them! does it cover the whole VW range? how far back does it go?ie. Mk2 Golf GTI ? if it does it may in handy when I swap the engine out on mine :unsure: Quote
GSMGuy Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Well, wytonpjs has very kindly put a copy in the post for me, along with his TMAP for elimination purposes (MANY THANKSS Peter!) Should be getting them tomorrow, and if he has no objections I'll gladly do a copy to send to the 1st to request it - On the condition that they do likewise.... Mike Quote
Justice Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Will anyone do that for me with the VW disc's :unsure: Quote
wytonpjs Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 My copy of ELSA Win works OK off Ebay - install is VERY complex as it appears to be the full dealer's setup with registered users databases, etc. Will try to print out full list of vehicles covered but it is not an easy thing to get at - can easily check for a specific vehicle so will do Golf Mk II check later tonight and post. Mine cost me Quote
Justice Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Thats a good price as well shame he only takes Paypal I have only got Quote

Mike I'd take you up on your offer but as my dvd burner is giveing me gip :unsure: if I post you the discs could you do them for me? Quote
