Useful B5 Reference Documents
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 1:37 pm
Over my last year or so of B5 ownership, I've built up a collection of reference documents that help me understand the car, engine, Vag Com, etc.
I've put them up here for others to reference should it help: http://www.mylife98.plus.com/Audi_A4_B5_97-2000/
So far they include:
2.7TT Self-study Technical Training
Very good document. General breakdown of the engine, cooling, charging, exhaust, sensors, major components, some really good engine diagrams with where to find parts like the N75 and N249, etc. A good starting point for understanding how the V6 TT engine works.
Engine Part Numbers and Diagrams
I use this mainly to understand the parts my garage is swapping in and out by the part numbers they give me. Also very useful for the simpler things that I can do myself when I need to know what part number I'm after.
Central Locking Alarm wiring
More than I will ever need to know (hopefully!) about how the locks, alarm, sensors etc are electrically wired.
RS4 Training Guide
An Audi self-study guide that specifically deals with the differences the RS4 has over the S4. This has some useful stuff in but is quite high-level. Think this is is the Docs section of rs246 already.
Workshop guides
I guess these are my bibles. Certainly haven't read them all but particularly useful ones I've found so far are:
Central Locking OBD coding
Engine Mechanical Guides (All Engines in the B5)
But there are many others, all of which seem to explain what VAGCOM codes/banks to read, what the tolerances should be, how to test and diagnose problems etc.
If anyone else has other docs like these then I'd a) be really interested in having a copy for my own knowledge and b) happy to add them to the collection here if you're happy for me to do so.
Cheers!
