Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

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.

This factory service and repair manual is built specifically for the 2021 Audi S7 Sportback, covering every trim so the specifications, wiring routes, and torque values inside match what Audi actually published for your car rather than a generic S-line writeup. It covers the 2.9L V6 (DKMB) turbocharged mild hybrid EV-Gas (MHEV) engine under this Sportback's hood.

Engines covered

  • 2.9L V6 mild hybrid (177 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Premium Plus
  • Prestige

Known issues on the 2021 S7 Sportback. Ten recalls are on federal record for this model year. The rear seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, preventing a child restraint system from securing properly. Rear axle alignment may not have been inspected following repairs from an earlier recall, leading to premature or uneven tire wear. A passenger air bag score line manufactured incorrectly may not deploy properly and can eject plastic debris into the cabin. A broken trailing arm lock nut from stress corrosion can misalign the rear axle and cause loss of control. A sticking fuel level sender can display an inaccurate fuel reading and cause the engine to stall. A software issue can blank the rearview camera display when reverse is engaged. Liquid spilled in the rear seat can penetrate and shut down the gateway control module, suddenly reducing engine power. An incorrectly labeled brake fluid cap may allow the wrong type of brake fluid to be used, reducing braking ability. A separate software error in the instrument panel display can prevent it from showing critical safety information such as the speedometer or warning lights. A further software error may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended. Owners have filed 3 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 gateway control module fault to a rear axle alignment check or a fuel sender diagnosis, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 S7 Sportback.
