1996 Audi A4 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$40.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Audi A4 is built for the exact year, engine and trim combination of your car, so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps inside match what Audi published for the 2.8L V6 (AFC) rather than a generic A4 reference.
Engines covered
- 2.8L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- Base
Known issues on the 1996 A4. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover aftermarket combination lamps sold as replacements that lack amber side reflectors, which reduces visibility to other drivers and can contribute to a crash. Two cover the ignition switch, where a cracked or fractured housing at the return spring anchor point can leave the spring force too weak to return the key to the running position, cutting power to electrical accessories like the wipers and headlights. One covers the horn, which can work only intermittently due to insufficient electrical ground contact. One covers the driver-side front air bag, which static electricity discharged under low humidity while entering or exiting the vehicle can trigger unexpectedly. Owners have filed 99 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 checking horn ground continuity or a headlight lamp swap, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1996 A4.
