This 2017 Audi RS7 factory service and repair manual is built around the 4.0L V8 turbocharged engine (CWUB/CWUC) and trim fitted to your car, so the torque values and procedures inside are the ones Audi specified for this exact configuration rather than a generic RS7 reference.

Known issues on the 2017 RS7. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the passenger occupant detection system: stress or wear of the front passenger seat's body-sensing mat can cause the PODS control module to malfunction, so the front air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. The second covers the tire information label, which lists an incorrect combined maximum weight, so loading the vehicle to the printed figure risks overloading it and increasing crash risk. 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. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a PODS diagnostic check to a turbocharger oil-strainer inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 RS7.
