FAQQuestions about the Quattro manual

Which Quattro years does this manual cover?

Every year from 1983 to 1986 — 4 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 Quattro manual or an aftermarket guide?

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

Does it include Quattro wiring diagrams?

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

Does the manual cover Quattro recalls?

3 recalls are on federal record across the 1983–1986 Quattro, 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 Quattro years cost more?

Every Quattro 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?
