Sycronauts and the rest of the Vangon Gang

I inquired about the very same thing at one of the two
miserable VW dealers here in Rochester.  The parts guy
was pretty cool and actually asked "management" about
it.
What all the VW dealers have is a dedicated system (I
think that it's some flavor of UNIX)with a CD that
gets updated periodically - perhaps monthly. Of course
they had a different system to order and print the
parts list from.  So he could not give me a decent
printout of the diagram we were viewing on the screen.

ALL the VW vehicles are on this CD not just our
beloved Vanagons.

What I asked the parts guy for was the old CD or last
months or even last years CD cause we know our vans
have not changed.  So the response was negatory good
buddy.

I believe that there are list members that work at
dealers.  Can anyone get an old CD with all the good
part numbers and drawings.  I have access to a Sun
Solaris system - connected to one of the fastest color
digital printer made by Xerox.  I can also make copies
of the CD realatively easily.

And you are right Bentley and Haynes are deficient
with the diagrams, dialogues and lack of part numbers.

Thanks
