1. Audi A4 B5 Service Repair Manual 1997-2001 PDF
2. 1997-2001 Audi B5 Service Repair Manual

 

2001 Audi A6 Quattro 4.2L
Triptronic puts me in 3rd gear and revs at 2300rpms will get up to speed. Still has reverse. Do I need a a whole new transmission or do I need a module? What do I need?

 

I went to the free manual page and the listed manual for the 98-2001 A4 B5 book but I cant see how to download that one. When I copy and past the link it circles back to the same page and if I click on Audi-A4 in the drop downs to the right it goes to a 2008-2015 A4 manual. Any ideas on getting to the one I need??

 

Is Bentley publishers still existing? their website www.bentleypublishers.com does not load. Their phone number goes to hold, then disconnects. I bought a CD and when it tries to go to the website to verify the license numbers, the site isn't there, so the eBahn reader on my computer gives an error - there's no unlocking code in the software from the website.

Anyone know anything about this?

 

Well if it doesn’t work, below is a link to a free service manual that I’ve used for the past 10 years.

Thank you. I have an S8, not an A4. Where did you get that service manual?

I returned the CD to parts geek where I bought it.

 

I am guessing that bentley publishers is out of business and their website is shut down, so you can't register a license for their CDs to get the line of code sent to your computer that unlocks the CDs. If that's true, unless there's a way to bypass the license lockout in the software, it would mean all their CDs not previously unlocked are worthless. I'd check this before buying a Bentley Publishing CD manual.

If anyone knows something different or more, I'd love to know. Maybe a programming genius can devise a way to bypass the license lockout. I paid legit money to Partsgeek.com for new CD in original packaging - not a bootleg. The manufacturer didn't provide what I paid for.
