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.

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 factory service and repair manual for the 2013 Audi A6 is built around the 2.0L turbocharged I4 (engine code CAEB) and this year's specific trim lineup, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic steps inside match what Audi actually published for this car rather than a generic A6-era approximation.

Engines covered

  • 2.0L inline-four (121 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 2.8L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Elite
  • Luxury
  • Premium
  • Premium Plus
  • S Line

Known issues on the 2013 A6. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the Passenger Occupant Detection System sensing mat in seats with heating/cooling, which can malfunction and prevent the front passenger air bag from deploying as intended in a crash. Two cover the electric coolant pump on 2.0L Turbo FSI engines, which can be blocked by cooling-system debris or short out from moisture, overheating and raising the risk of a fire. Two cover fuel system hoses and lines that can weaken or degrade, leading to a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire near an ignition source. Owners have filed 52 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a coolant pump fault, checking the passenger seat occupancy sensor, or inspecting a fuel line, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2013 A6.
