Frequently Asked Questions
Which RS4 generations and body styles are included?
All three RS4 generations are fully covered: the B5 Typ 8D RS4 Avant Quattro (1999–2001), the B7 Typ 8E RS4 Avant, Cabriolet, and Quattro sedan (2006–2008), and the B8 RS4 Avant and Avant Quattro (2012–2015). Both left- and right-hand-drive configurations are documented throughout.
Are the B7 V8 rod bearing procedures included given this is a known issue?
Yes. The software contains full engine mechanical procedures for the 4.2L BNS V8, including connecting rod bearing inspection intervals, clearance specifications, and step-by-step replacement instructions — critical for preventing the bearing failures commonly reported on high-mileage B7 RS4s.
Does the software cover the S-tronic dual-clutch transmission in the B8 RS4?
Complete 7-speed S-tronic coverage is included: fluid service intervals, mechatronics unit diagnostics, clutch pack specifications, and fault code procedures. The 6-speed Getrag manual fitted to B5 and B7 models is equally well documented.
What format is the manual?
This is NOT a PDF — it is professional OEM Audi Elsawin dealer software delivered as a VMware Player Virtual Machine. It provides interactive wiring diagrams, searchable repair procedures, an integrated Electronic Parts Catalogue, and component locators identical to those used in authorized Audi workshops.
