FAQQuestions about the A7 manual

Which A7 years does this manual cover?

Every year from 2016 to 2018 — 3 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 A7 manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Audi published for the A7, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include A7 wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every A7 manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover A7 recalls?

5 recalls are on federal record across the 2016–2018 A7, 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 A7 years cost more?

Every A7 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.
