This manual for the 2016 Audi S7 is built around its 4.0L V8 (engine code CTGE), so the torque values and diagnostic steps you get are the ones Audi wrote for this specific engine and trim, not a generalized A7-platform figure.
Engines covered
- 4.0L V8 (243 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door hatchback
Trims covered

Known issues on the 2016 S7. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger occupant classification sensor: stress or wear on the seat's 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 turbocharger: the oil supply strainer can become blocked, starving the bearings of lubrication until the turbine wheel contacts its housing or the shaft breaks, causing an engine stall. Owners have filed 15 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 passenger seat's occupant sensor or pulling the turbo for a strainer check, this manual keeps you on Audi's exact procedure and spec for the 2016 S7's 4.0L CTGE.
