Don't think this has been posted before, so here goes...
If you're after a workshop manual or other documentation about your car, and there's no Haynes manual for it, and you've checked this site that Carlo found, then help is at hand - and it doesn't cost too much either.
Seat (and Volkswagen and Audi) sell their official Workshop Manuals online, and also some other documentation including some handy "Self Study" guides.
Clicky: ERWIN (Seat)
Click on "Search" to search through the documentation and view the contents pages of each section for free.
To access the full documentation, you first have to register (easy and free), then pay as you go to download the documentation sections you want.
Workshops Manuals are currently 18 Euros (~£12) per section, and Self Study guides are 4.70 Euros (~£3.20) each. (Current flow diagrams are available but are dearer unfortunately).
What you can't do (until someone finds a way
) is to buy a document and then gives copies to all your SCN mates - because they are in "Sealed" pdf format. To view them, you have to download the (free) unsealer plugin for Internet Explorer, this allows you to view the document on your own PC inside Acrobat - after you've connected to their server and authenticated yourself. You can't save as normal pdf, and you can't seem to "print to file" or print to another application (such as another PDF creator). Any other suggestions welcome
You can of course print them out, and well...photocopiers aren't hard to find
As a trial, I registered and paid for a copy of the "Mark 20 ABS - ESP Self-Study Program" for 4.70 Euros - about £3.20. I then downloaded it and printed it off.
It's really good - 40 pages long, full of good colour diagrams, describes in depth the principles of ESP, describes the function & location of all the sensors, gives hydraulic & wiring diagrams, and also describes what measuring blocks / settings can be accessed with diagnostic equipment (or vag-com in our cases!).
So a site well worth a visit.
Note for Mk4 Ibiza owners - they're actually listed as "Ibiza III" for some reason, and then the subsections are randomly split between "2002>" and "2002-2005"...bizarre. Just nose around and you'll find what you're after.
