The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

The 1986 Audi 5000 Quattro factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact year and trim, so every specification and torque sequence it gives is the one Audi published for your car rather than a close-enough figure carried over from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 1986 5000 Quattro. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. The transaxle differential can lose oil to evaporation over time, and the resulting low oil level leads to premature bearing and gear wear that can cause the drive wheels to lose power or the front wheels to lock and cause rapid deceleration. Certain brake hose assemblies have inadequate crimps at the fitting, and a separated hose can cause loss of braking power. The idle stabilizer can wear excessively, causing engine surge that can lead to loss of vehicle control if the brakes are not applied in time. Sudden acceleration from a stationary position can occur when shifting from park to reverse or drive, without prior warning. Misadjustment of the fuel distributor can allow fuel to escape and be absorbed by the air filter, risking an engine compartment fire on backfire. Front or rear right seat belt locks may not properly engage, risking separation under heavy braking or impact. Certain rear brake calipers can bind and overheat, causing a spongy pedal and the possible loss of one brake circuit. Repeated topping off of the fuel tank can reduce vapor expansion space, allowing vapors to escape near the exhaust system where they could ignite. Fuel injection seals can harden from heat and alcohol in some fuels, letting fuel drip onto hot engine components and risk an engine compartment fire. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a differential oil check to a brake hose or fuel injection seal inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1986 5000 Quattro.

NHTSA #93V00600011/01/1993Component: POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL OF THE TRANSAXLE IS LOST OVER TIME DUE TO EVAPORATION. LOW OIL LEVELS CAUSE PREMATURE BEARING AND GEAR WEAR AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL.

Remedy

THESE BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM A STATIONARY POSITION MAY OCCUR, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE.

Consequence

UNEXPECTED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNINGCOULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH, CAUSING INJURIES.

Remedy

INSTALL AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT LOCK TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER FROM BEING MOVED FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE UNLESS BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED AT THE SAME TIME.

NHTSA #86V10300004/08/1986Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

NHTSA #87V15800006/10/1987Component: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER

CERTAIN REAR BRAKE CALIPERS COULD BIND AND CONSEQUENTLY OVERHEAT.

Consequence

OVERHEATED CALIPERS COULD CAUSE BRAKE PEDAL TO FEELSPONGY AND COULD RESULT IN ONE BRAKE CIRCUIT BECOMING INOPERATIVE. BRAKINGABILITY WOULD BE AFFECTED.

Remedy

REQUIRES INSPECTION OF BRAKE CALIPERS AND REPLACEMENT OF CALIPERS AS NECESSARY.

NHTSA #87V15700006/10/1987Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

REPEATED TOPPING OFF OF FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING REDUCES THE EXPANSION SPACE WITHIN THE TANK ALLOWING VAPORS TO ESCAPE FROM THE CHARCOAL FILTER TO OUTSIDE RATHER THAN BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ENGINE.

Consequence

ESCAPING VAPORS COULD IGNITE BY HEAT EMITTED BY THEEXHAUST SYSTEM.

Remedy

INSTALL REDESIGNED FILLER NECK AND A NEW VENT VALVE AND HOSE FOR CHARCOAL FILTER. ALSO, STOP REFUELING WHEN PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF.

NHTSA #89V00600017/01/1989Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
