Can anyone recommend a decent workshop manual i can buy? I have seen a few on ebay but hoping someone may have used one similar to audi’s own, im needing it to see how i go about changing the drivers side hard brake line and i am hoping it isnt an engine out job

emanualonline.com works well for me, cost about a tenner to download.

Thanks looks great, only 140mb too so should be able to put it on my old ipad

How did you get on with this ?
I dropped them a line to check suitability for my 2007 B7 RS4 and received the following

Hi
I need to order this in from my supplier. Cost is £29.99. It will take approximately 24-48hours to receive, but hopefully a lot sooner.
It's a full software type manual, but it's pretty much better than anything else out there.
Do you have PayPal, if so what is your PayPal email address? I shall send you an invoice for payment.


Question is, how come this is a special order now ? Are these guys legitimate ?

I have two manuals from them one for RS and one the wife's 2015 Touareg, it's as close to dealer repair manual as you will get.
It's legit but i wouldn't be purchasing the full software all singing, all dancing, up to you right enough? I never contacted them either, just click on audi....RS4....Year....add to cart and paypal it.
The price comes up £18.99 for Service & Repair Manual, i've had it a few years now and keep it on an old notebook for taking outside, hey maybe there's better or cheaper, just my experience with it

Had a look at their site, you never had the choice before between software download or manual download, not sure if that's the same manual in a different format? I have the service repair manual...bigger file and £19.99 not 18..sorry
Sounds like they're trying to sell you a mixture of both?

No prob MIDZ just seems a bit odd that they offered something different. I guess the software download is an installer for windows or is there an app. I'll go back and see what they have to say
Definitely seems worth having

Yes, when you order it it gives you instructions to download a free software in order to open the file (VM-Player)...sorry my computing terminology is not great, but i have managed to get it working twice when i purchased different manuals in the past so it can't be that hard, again i just picked the manual, paid for it, and it downloaded straight away with instructions on how to install suitable player which opens up the manual contents.
Again it's possible there's better and/or less expensive but it is a proper dealer style manual with everything from electrical schematics to every method of dis-assembly/assembly on all components.
Maybe have a Shop around, see if there's similar online first

I have it in pdf format, as well as all the RS4 erWin documents if anyone wants a copy.

Just PM me.

I’ve uploaded it to OneDrive, so it’s probably easier if I just post a link.

It contains generic B7 A4 info as well, but all the RS4 stuff is in there.

I'd be interested to have a look at that one also - but it seems the file is no longer available?

thx

New link. Not sure why the previous one stopped working.

Still the same, is it set to private?

I thought “read” access would allow anyone with the link to download the file. Obviously not. It’s now set to “edit”.

If there are any issues, PM me direct.
