Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my 2.0L TFSI A5 keep losing coolant?
The 2.0L TFSI engines used in the 2017-2020 A5 are known for premature failure of the plastic-impeller water pump, which causes coolant loss and potential overheating. This manual covers the full replacement procedure, including coolant system bleeding and thermostat housing inspection — a common companion repair.
Does this manual cover the S5 as well as the standard A5?
Yes. The S5 shares the F5 platform and body structure with the A5. Coverage for the S5’s 3.0L TFSI supercharged and turbocharged V6 (engine code CWGD/DEAU depending on model year) is included alongside the standard A5 four-cylinder content.
Is the 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission service covered?
Fully covered. The manual includes fluid and filter change intervals, mechatronic sleeve seal replacement (a known wear point), shift adaptation reset procedures, and complete disassembly/reassembly data for the DL501 S tronic unit found in A5 quattro models.
What format is the manual?
The manual is a PDF file, compatible with Windows and Mac computers, iOS and Android tablets and phones. It is fully searchable and zoomable for reading detailed wiring diagrams and torque specifications. After purchase, the file is available for instant download and can be re-downloaded at any time.
