This manual is built for the 2014 Audi S6 alone, keyed to its 4.0L V8 (engine code CEUC) and sedan trim, so the torque values, wiring paths and diagnostic trees inside are the factory-published figures for this exact configuration rather than an approximation drawn from another Audi.
Engines covered
- 4.0L V8 (243 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered

Known issues on the 2014 S6. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger seat's occupant classification sensor: wear on the body-sensing mat can cause the module to malfunction, so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. The second covers the fuel delivery lines: manufacturing tolerance issues can let a line leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source may cause a fire. The third covers the turbocharger: a blocked oil supply strainer can starve the bearings of lubrication, letting the turbine wheel contact its housing or the shaft break, causing an engine stall. Owners have filed 20 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 PODS air bag fault to inspecting a fuel line or servicing the turbocharger's oil supply, it keeps you on the OEM procedure for your specific 2014 S6.
