Hi can anyone recommend a good maintenance manual for a 2003 A6 diesel Quattro. I've got a few jobs that need doin and I've never tackled any of them before, the joys orating a cousin as a mechanic. Thanks in advance

 

bentleypublishers.com

download your car and you are off to the races

 

Is there any good free links to the manuals? :/ 200 bucks is a little ridiculous

 

I haven't seen any yet.

however the manual is worth 200 it's not like chilton or hayes type DIY book

It's not perfect but between that manual and this forum I have completely disassembled my A6 and put it back together again Transmission excluded.

you want a CD version or download- I think paper would be a pita

Price check at

Blauparts.com
Bentleypublishers.com
maybe at tradebit.com
maybe at ecstuning.com

You will also need a vag-com to pull codes
There are guys on here that can get the cheap one on ebay to work
look up midniteoil he knows how
I have a ross tech and that was 200

But again I have used all of this info so many times it has paid for itself

 

Cheers for the information. I have ordered the bentley book but have just noticed that it doesent list the 2.5 Tdi V6 as one of the engines covered. Can anyone tell me if this is correct or if one of the engines shown in the list in practically the same? I will be using the book to do a cambelt change and full service to start off so want to make sure it covers my car.

 

I can't answer if the book covers your car or not but if you head over to www.tradebit.com and type in what you're looking for you might find it in PDF format for as little as $6, and I have yet to see a manual on there for more than $20.
