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.

Item as described quick delivery

This 2013 Audi S8 factory service and repair manual is built around the Base Sedan 4-Door and its 4.0L V8 (engine code CGTA), so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic trees inside track the parts actually bolted to your car.

Engines covered

  • 4.0L V8 (243 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base

Known issues on the 2013 S8. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two involve the high-pressure fuel pump's supply line, which can turn porous over time and leak fuel near an ignition source. A third covers the engine bay seal, which can work loose and contact hot engine components, raising the risk of fire. A fourth affects the standard sunroof glass panel, which on certain build dates may shatter, with falling glass able to injure occupants or distract the driver and increase the risk of a crash. The fifth covers the turbocharger's oil supply strainer, which can become blocked and starve the bearings, letting the turbine wheel contact its housing or the shaft break and stall the engine. Owners have filed 13 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged.

From tracing a fuel-line leak to inspecting the turbo oil strainer or resealing the engine bay, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2013 S8.
