2016 Audi RS7 Service and Repair Manual
This 2016 Audi RS7 factory service and repair manual is built around this exact model year, its turbocharged 4.0L V8 (engine codes CWUB, CWUC), and trim lineup, so the specifications and torque sequences inside are the ones Audi published for your car, not figures borrowed from a similar year.

Known issues on the 2016 RS7. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger seat's Passenger Occupant Detection System: stress or wear on the body-sensing mat can cause the PODS control module to malfunction, so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. The second covers the tire information label, which lists an incorrect combined maximum weight, risking an overloaded vehicle if the operator loads to the printed figure. The third covers the turbocharger oil supply strainer, which can become blocked and starve the bearings of lubrication, allowing the turbine wheel to contact its housing or the shaft to break and stall the engine. Owners have filed 6 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 a PODS air bag fault to a turbocharger oil-supply check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 RS7.
