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.

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 2020 Audi S5 factory service and repair manual is built for this exact year, engine and trim, so every torque value and diagnostic step traces back to what Audi published for your car, including the 3.0L V6 (engine code CWGD), instead of a generic figure pulled from another S5 model year.

Engines covered

  • 3.0L V6 — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door coupe
  • 2-door convertible

Trims covered

  • Premium
  • Premium Plus
  • Prestige
  • Progressiv
  • Technik

Known issues on the 2020 S5. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers rear axle misalignment left uninspected after an earlier repair, which can cause premature or uneven tire wear and raise the risk of a crash. The second covers a trailing arm lock nut on the rear axle that can break from stress corrosion, misaligning the axle and causing a loss of control. The third covers a wiring fault between the seat heater and the Passenger Occupant Detection System that can make the system misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger air bag. The fourth covers a rear wiring harness missing anti-abrasion protection near the spare wheel well, which can let the wires be damaged in a rear crash, disabling the exterior door releases and hazard lights. Owners have filed 25 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 rear axle alignment check to tracing the PODS wiring behind a disabled passenger air bag, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 S5.
