FAQQuestions about the 80 manual

Which 80 years does this manual cover?

Every year from 1988 to 1992 — 5 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM Audi 80 manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Audi published for the 80, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include 80 wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every 80 manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover 80 recalls?

9 recalls are on federal record across the 1988–1992 80, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Audi dealers.

Why do some 80 years cost more?

Every 80 year is $40.99.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.

How do I get the manual after purchase?

It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
