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.

Item as described quick delivery

This manual is built specifically for the 2004 Audi A6, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic steps inside track the 3.0L V6 (engine code AVK) and the exact trim under the hood rather than a generic A6-era approximation.

Engines covered

  • 3.0L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Confort
  • Luxury

Known issues on the 2004 A6. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the fuel tank rollover valve: aging plastic combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line can crack the valve nipple, and a resulting fuel leak near an ignition source can lead to a vehicle fire. Two more cover the headlight switch wiring: connector pins in the switch can short circuit, and separately the switch wiring harness can be contacted through the dashboard knee bolster, either of which risks overheating or a fire originating in the left dashboard area. Owners have filed 35 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 a headlight switch short to inspecting the fuel tank rollover valve or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2004 A6.
