This manual is built specifically for the 1995 Audi 90, covering the 2.8L V6 (engine codes AAH and AFC) as delivered that year, so the wiring diagrams, torque values and diagnostic steps inside match what Audi actually published for this car rather than a generic 90-series printing.
Engines covered
- 2.8L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered

Known issues on the 1995 90. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch, which was improperly manufactured and can cause electrical accessories such as turn signals, wipers, lamps, power windows and air conditioning to malfunction when the car is started. The second covers the fuel injection system on V6-equipped cars: an internal seal in the fuel injector can fail and leak fuel into the engine compartment, which in the presence of an ignition source can start a fire. The third covers the driver's side air bag, which static electricity discharged in low humidity can activate as the driver enters or exits the vehicle. Owners have filed 25 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 tracing an ignition switch fault to inspecting the fuel injector seals or the air bag circuit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1995 90.
DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCHES WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND CAN CAUSE SOME ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES TO MALFUNCTION.
SOME ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES, SUCH AS, TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, LAMPS, POWER WIND0WS AND AIR CONDITIONERS CAN MALFUNCTION WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH.
