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 2005 Audi A8 Quattro, covering the 4.2L V8 (engine code BFM) and 6.0L W12 (engine code BSB) as delivered from the factory, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and service procedures inside match your engine and trim rather than a generic A8 reference.

Engines covered

  • 4.2L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 6.0L W12 (366 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • L
  • L Plus
  • Plus

Known issues on the 2005 A8 Quattro. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the frontal air bags: during production, the driver's frontal air bag may not unfold properly in a crash and therefore may not inflate as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a frontal collision. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

From verifying air bag module integrity to routine service on the V8 or W12, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 A8 Quattro.

NHTSA #06V32400031/08/2006Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, DURING PRODUCTION OF THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG, THE AIR BAG MAY NOT UNFOLD PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND THEREFORE MAY NOT INFLATE AS DESIGNED.

Consequence

LOSS OF FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD OCCUR WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A FRONTAL CRASH.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AUDI AT 1-800-822-2834.
