Hope this works and is the right thing - TT please confirm as this is the first time I've used ETKA!



Sommats not quite right with your ETKA - you ETKA revision is newer than mine, yet the data file is much older - because that is listing the LongLife2 oils - which have long since been superceeded!  :huh:

So I take it yours is not legit?

Finally managed to update my ETKA

This picture should be right TT!



As TT previously posted you can see that the without extended service intervals is now greyed out at the bottom of the screen. This is all the proof you need to the stealers that they would be breaking VW guidance if they use non-LL oil.

I dunno.  But it isn't uncommon for incorrect data tables to get mixed up in ETKA - even the stealers official versions get bugs in them - but they are generally fixed pretty rapidly.

That is still an old data file though, because it is listing LL2 and LL3.  :wink:

Exactly :afro:

And for belt and braces - get the print-out from ELSA.

What version number of the data is your ETKA reporting? Just so I can make sure I'm fully up to date now I've worked out how to update!
