ETKA is the biggest reason for my maintaining a Genuine VW MPF 2400 Reader
machine and my huge collection of parts fiche and decently large collection
of original factory Parts Books in my reference library.  Although the
illustrations are still there, much of the text information is disappearing
from the computer.  Picked up a 1971 dated 68-71 Bus Parts Book at the last
OCTO to add to the library (actually looking for a 1970 dated Bus book for
the more "accurate" illustrations for the 68-70 front & rear axle/suspension
areas - 71 and later books/fiche/ETKA has a "hybridization" of these area
images - still looking).
Yep, I'm back from the angioram with just meds changes :)
