Which erWin manual do I need

[ladsjohn]

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.

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
