Has anyone ever found a service manual for there car? I am used to having an extensive collection of servive manuals for any car I own. But I cannot find anything.

Thanks

There is one in ERWIN from AUDI. You need to subscribe for 1 hour. Then you can download the service manual and other information.

Or, it is rumored that bootlegs are sold online for $15. And the quality of the indexing and the line drawings themselves is still, well, very 1890's.

Some libraries also have subscriptions to these online manuals, and allow patrons to browse them. And then either save pages or pay to print them, sometimes tedious and costly.

I ended up getting a 24hr sub to Erwin and I am currently up now (and for an hour or two) downloading anything and everything I can find for myself. not the easiest thing laid out but its no harder then pouring over Aircraft Publication written by engineers for Techs.

If you go to the database by entering your vin no. (For me only IE worked) you also can copy all TPI to a word document which apply to your Car, useful for the future. I am sure you will benefit from this subscription.

If you understand how Audi system works, SVM - TPIs - ERWIN, and get to read the TPIs, then you are an informed customer (especially if you have the full Audi Service History).

This way you are in control (or at least you think you are ).

Do you have a link to the ERWIN service manual? Thanks

Thanks for the links. When clicking on the USA link, it appears that you have to create an account and buy a subscription to access the repair manual and technical information thru Erwin. Is that correct?

You are welcome. Yes 1 hour subscription is the min. You have to download and install svgview (from adobe) and use internet explorer if you wish to access the ERWIN database for your car (using your vin number).
