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.

Known issues on the 2016 A6 Quattro. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel rail: a fuel leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. The second covers the auxiliary heater electrical connector, which may have been incorrectly inserted and can build up extra resistance, overheating the connector and raising fire risk. The third covers the Passenger Occupant Detection System sensor mat in the front seat, where stress or wear can cause the module to malfunction so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. Owners have filed 51 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 fuel rail leak, checking the auxiliary heater connector or servicing the front passenger seat sensor mat, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 A6 Quattro.
