FAQQuestions about the Cabriolet manual
Which Cabriolet years does this manual cover?
Every year from 1994 to 1998 — 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 Cabriolet manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Audi published for the Cabriolet, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

8 recalls are on federal record across the 1994–1998 Cabriolet, 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 Cabriolet years cost more?
Every Cabriolet year is $40.99.
