Bentley Publishers is the place to get one but I'm not sure they have a manual yet for the 2012/2013 A6. Give them a call.

Or, you could do a forum search for others that have done the mods.

While I don't like the idea of a yearly subscription fee, www.alldata.com has the equivalent of factory service manuals for about $20 to $25/year. (I originally wrote month, sorry)

Shop manual might not go into details re removal of trim.

Talk to one of the A/C mechanics at Audi; they can do a print out for you. Cost is a few tacos.

Re manuals, foreign car manufacts are sometimes very slow on producing manuals because cars are so highly complicated, and dealer has expensive tools/computers that they must purchase to repairs these cars.

Dealers do not mind being the only game in town when it comes to modern luxury car repairs.

e.g., BMW brought out E60 model in 2004. Bentley produced and sold manual (covering 5 series from 2004 thru 2010) in 2010.

Many Amer manufacts use digital manuals ONLY.

Many service cds on ebay are totally useless; others do not work on certain operating systems. Be careful.

About 4 months ago I ordered an Audi A6 service manual from an outfit in England. The seller was ebay name: amztrad.
It cost $8 (with shipping) claiming that it would cover the C7. I figured what the heck, for that price I'm sure I can get $8 worth of value out of it even if it only covers the C6.

It turns out that it does cover the C7 just fine!

Here is the link I originally followed:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...38881801763811

But it no longer works.

Maybe you can do a search for something similar being offered currently.

Hmmm, right now he only seems to have the 1994-2009 version? Yours goes through 2011?

I contacted that seller and he said he doesn't have a manual for the C7.

Dear dicktahoe,
Hi,
Thanks for your message.
Sorry, I haven't got one.
Many thanks

Dear amztrad,
Do you have a Workshop Service Repair Manual for 2013 Audi A6? Several of us on an Audi Message Board are interested.
Thanks
