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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Audi A6 Quattro is built around the exact engine and trim on your build sheet, including the 2.8L V6 (engine code AFC), so the specifications and procedures you get are the ones Audi published for this configuration rather than a generic A6 reference.

Engines covered

  • 2.8L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door wagon

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Avant

Known issues on the 1996 A6 Quattro. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch, where improperly manufactured switches can cause turn signals, 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, static electricity discharged as the driver enters or exits the vehicle can form a circuit through the steering wheel and activate the air bag, risking personal injury. Owners have filed 54 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.

Whether you're tracing an ignition switch fault or inspecting the air bag circuit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 1996 A6 Quattro.
