Forwarding this, thinking that some folks on the Vanagon list may be
interested in this VW parts CD. The CD covers gasoline and diesel
models, details of specific coverage are outlined in the message
below.
I have no connection with this project whatsoever, usual disclaimers
out the wazoo, just passing this info on out of community interest.
PLEASE DIRECT ANY AND ALL FURTHER INQUIRIES TO THE ORIGINAL SENDER
(RF72050@aol.com), NOT TO ME.

>Hi fellow VW enthusiasts,
>I'm writing you about a VW Parts CD discussed on the VW Diesel bulletin
>boards in early March. I have offered to obtain the CD and make copies
>available reasonably for those interested. I am not in business and am only
>attempting to cover the cost of my time, supplies and shipping. The CD is
>free for your personal use only (an attempt to avoid any copyright laws).
>Shipping and handling will cost you $7.50 US. I am located on the West coast
>of the US and will ship to North American destinations via mail. If
>interested in obtaining a copy of this CD, please contact me by return
>E-mail. I will E-mail you with my address for you to send payment along with
>your return address. When payment is received, I will ship the CD to you.
>
>This CD is a parts listing with exploded parts assembly views, part names and
>VW part numbers. It is not like a service manual as it does not tell you or
>show you how things come apart or go together or give wear tolerances or
>fastener torques. However, It is VERY useful! MY copy of the CD arrived
>yesterday from Mark Harries in England and I have had an opportunity to
>install it on my laptop and verify functionality. Note: some of the features
>such as updating and parts ordering are not functional for obvious reasons.
>In addition, there is no support for the software (i.e., don't call your
>local VW dealer or VOA for help!). It is best to contact myself or one of the
>VW Diesel bulletin boards for assistance. I am running Win98 and assume that
>the software will also run on Win95 machines. Some of you have asked about
>compatibility with Apple Macintosh computers. I cannot address your question.
>But, I doubt that the software and CD are compatible with Apple Macintosh
>computers. The software and database must be installed on your computer and
>then it can be run without the CD. It takes approximately 325 MB of hard
>drive space. It is also important to use a monitor resolution of 1280 X 1024
>to view correctly. My laptop uses a 800 X 600 resolution LCD display. I set
>it to the 1280 X 1024 resolution when running the software. The Readme First
>text file should be looked at and printed before installation. It explains
>how to activate the pricing feature (Its probably in the new Euro currency).
>
>If your interest in VWs is anything like mine, I think you will find this CD
>very useful and interesting. This CD was obviously created to cover European
>VW gas and diesel models, many of which were never imported into North
>America. I am not familiar with all of the models listed on the CD. Following
>is a list of models covered on this CD:
