FAQQuestions about the A5 manual
Which A5 years does this manual cover?
Every year from 2008 to 2024 — 15 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 A5 manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Audi published for the A5, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Why do some A5 years cost more?
Every A5 year is $40.99.
