Repair manual

Search returned nothing-
1. What's a good, reasonably priced bumper to bumper repair manual? (See link below)
2. I want to swap struts/shocks!
3. I've done it on numerous vehicles in the past, is it pretty straightforward on my 2010 A5?

Found this- thoughts?https://www.allcarmanuals.com/factory-service-manual-263-Audi -A5-A5-S5-RS5-Type-8T-8F.html

erwin.audiusa.com, pay for a day, download all the PDFs for your VIN.

It's a pretty straight-forward process to replace the dampers front and rear.

There are threads on doing dampers I would assume. Anything for the B8 A4 / S4 / A5 / S5 is the same on this subject, so check those forums too.

Just search/google for it. Plenty of videos/DIY online for how to change struts for a B8 platform Audi A4/A5.

I changed all four struts/shocks. The front struts are more of a pain, but the back was fairly easy. If you live in the cold/wet weather, the pinch bolt might be a bit tough. Also remember to buy all new stretch to torque bolts.
