Surprised to see 5.2L/386kw (520bhp) engine option in the audi workshop disks

I like having access to the workshop disks as they give details of known problems and how things are screwed together (eg sideblade removal).

When selecting the car details, that option was there along with the normal 4.2/309kw (414bhp) engine option for the r8.

I have the shop manuals from Bentley Publishers on CD-ROM with the associated eBahn subscription. I just downloaded the latest updates, and the 5.2L does not appear. Nor is any 2009 or later data available for the R8 on their website, just 2008.

What type/format of disks do you have access to? Something different from the Bentley/eBahn disks? (www.bentleypublishers.com)

The disks I'm using are the elsawin based ones that the main dealers use - copies can be easily obtained via ebay.
