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

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 manual for the 2011 Audi A8 Quattro is built around this exact model, the 4.2L V8 (engine code CDRA), and the specific trim you drive, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and service procedures inside reflect what Audi actually documented for this car rather than a generic A8 write-up.

Engines covered

  • 4.2L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Elite
  • L

Known issues on the 2011 A8 Quattro. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the engine cooling system: a coolant valve can leak and allow coolant to enter the engine control module, causing a loss of power or a vehicle stall, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that cooling system are here.

Whether you're tracing a coolant leak near the ECM or working through a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct spec for your specific 2011 A8 Quattro.
