    Which erWin manual do I need

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm planning on tackling the rear main seal in my 2010 A3 and want a good manual to guide me in removing the transmission (DSG).
    Looking on erWin; there are several for my car under the category Repair Manual -> Engine

    - 4-cylinder direct injection 1.8T, 2.0T
    - Fuel Injection and Ignition
    - Fuel supply system
    - Generic scan tool
    - Oil gauge tester service values
    - Servicing - 4 cylinder 1.8L; 2.0L 4V TFSI

    I'm guessing I just need the last one? Any idea of the contents of the first one?

    I use AlldataDIY and have found them really helpful for my B6 S4 and B8 S4. I presume it would be the same for the A3.

    Thanks. Is there an amount of detail in there? I'm looking for a step by step guide on removing the transmission.
    Similar guides I've looked at might show, for example, how to replace the RMS. But it just shows a picture of the crankshaft and how to remove/replace the seal. No details on how to actually get to that point.

    Alldata is pretty pricey. At the Audi Erwin website, you can subscribe for a day or three and download the manuals and isolate the repair manual down to the model and year.

    I haven't used any other program, so can't comment. I think I paid $29 for the year or $50 for 3 years.
    I rebuild my B6 S4 engine using the manual, so the detail is great.

    Thanks. To rephrase my original question; which erWin manual would help me most in doing the RMS:
    - 4-cylinder direct injection 1.8T, 2.0T
    or
    - Servicing - 4 cylinder 1.8L; 2.0L 4V TFSI
