This 1995 Audi A6 Quattro factory service and repair manual is built around the 2.8L V6 (engine code AFC), Quattro all-wheel drive, and the specific trim your car left the factory as, so the torque values and procedures inside are the ones Audi wrote for this configuration rather than a generic A6 substitute.

Known issues on the 1995 A6 Quattro. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch: improperly manufactured switches can cause electrical accessories such as turn signals, windshield wipers, lamps, power windows, and air conditioning to malfunction when the car is started. The second covers the driver-side frontal air bag: under low-humidity conditions, a discharge of static electricity as the driver enters or exits the vehicle can complete an electrical circuit through the steering wheel and activate the air bag, risking personal injury. Owners have filed 18 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 air bag wiring or servicing the Quattro drivetrain, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1995 A6 Quattro.
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.
