Guest sufc38 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Hi All, Just bought a copy of ElsaWin off ebay and it's awesome, still learning how to use it, but if I can help anyone, just give me a shout. Cheers Mike Quote
Bigjeeze Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 What does it give you then over and above TIS? and How much does it cost? ;) Quote
Justice Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Imagine T.I.S as a pocket guide well Elsa Win is an encyclopedia.You can get it off Ebay anywhere from Quote
morticiaskeeper Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Still can't get mine to install Quote
morticiaskeeper Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Been having a problem with loading the data. The program loads ok, both server & client, but the data disk installation script tells me it's the wrong version. the guy who sold it to me has sent another in the post, so I'm about to try it. I may be some time..............Send out a search party :ph34r: Quote
morticiaskeeper Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 It works!!! Now I've got to learn how to use it. It seems to need some numbers that I don't know, like the PR number. I'm also looking for a basic fault diagnosis using the fault codes section, but can't find it yet. Spend all day on the Mercedes system, too old to learn another :ph34r: Quote
Guest sufc38 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Hi, As far as I can tell you can't use thr PR number bit (on my version anyway) as this is just the VIN number and requires the online connection part of Elsawin to the VW database to identify the vehicle exactly which is obviously unavailable (could be wrong though). Everytime I have tried to use it. it just throws up a server error message. Mike Quote
morticiaskeeper Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 That's what I thought. found the fault code diagnosis, listed my code, checked where it said, nothing wrong. Probably the ECU getting confused when I switch fuels. now if only I could find what dies when I go through floods ;) Quote
Bigjeeze Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 OK Guys bought a copy and it's fully loaded - How do I use it? It wants a PR number How do I get round that? :P Quote
dave_m Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 just fill in vehicle details VW sharan and year and you should be ok on the workshop manuals side of things. Certain parts you actually need a VW VIN No for, such as the Technical solutions etc. Quote

morticiaskeeper Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 As a poor Ford owner, if you need a VW Vin, pm me for a very early (1995)Sharan number :P It should cover most things other than the engine & box Quote
dave_m Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 i could do with a 2001 1.9 tdi Sharan Vin, it will only be used for Elsawin and no other purpose, if anyone can help :ph34r: Also does anyone know the gearbox code for a six speed manual box? Quote
Guest LCML Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Hi I've installed Elsawin but can't enter the brand of the veicle (VW) Can enter any other information but the brand of the car Any help? :ph34r: Quote
