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.

This manual is built around the 2016 Audi S6 specifically, keyed to its 4.0L V8 (engine code CTGE), so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps you pull up are the ones Audi wrote for this powertrain and trim.

Engines covered

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

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Premium Plus
  • Prestige
  • Progressiv

Known issues on the 2016 S6. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger Occupant Detection System: stress or wear of the body-sensing mat in the seat can cause the PODS module to malfunction, so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. The second 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, which can stall the engine and increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 19 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting the PODS seat mat, chasing a turbo oil-supply fault, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 S6.
