2013 allroad owner's manual?

[theSaint024]

I was about to do something borderline insane, but thought I might check on here first. I want a pdf of my owner's manual. I did a search on AZ, and you can imagine those search strings bringing up all kinds of posts. I did an internet search and all the sites require some sign up to some sketchy sites. The audiusa site has access, but not a downloadable pdf. It has a flash version, that you can print out to pdf, at 2 pages at a time for 274 pages! I am actually considering doing this the hard way and combining all the pages on a single pdf file. Before I consider doing this... does anyone have a pdf copy of the manual?

We talked about doing the same with the online manual but we were going to split it up between a few guys. It never happened, lol. I wish it would have though.

I figured no one would be bored enough to do this, so of course I did it. Problem now is sharing. Anyone know how to share a 35mb file? I did the quick reference manual as well, but that's only 1mb. There's still a 100 page MMI manual to do if anyone wants to join in the fun because I think I'm done with this.

Good job man. You might be able to gather some donations for that share. How long did it take you.

[theSaint024]

Thanks man. About an hour of mind-numbing work. Not time consuming, just brutal. Haha, not looking for donations. My contribution for all the info from the forum... if I can find a way to share this.

Dropbox

^ Dropbox or something similar is probably the only way, that's a gigantic file.

Good work! I considered doing this as well but quickly gave up that idea.

I was afraid of that. I personally don't want my cloud drives (dropbox, google drive, etc.) or parts of them accessible to the public, so I was reluctant to do this. If anyone has an already public folder that can host this file, I will gladly transfer to them. Otherwise, PM me with an email and I'll send directly. Speaking of gigantic files, the original pdf, before Adobe's reducing file size function, was 184mb. The smaller 35mb file has some noise from the conversion, but is totally acceptable. Audi must have put some subtle shading or something on the pages that is causing the file to be so big. Regardless, PM if you want it, or if you can host it. The manual is specifically for the 2013 allroad (we all know how similar it is with other B8.X a4's) and the quick reference is for all a4/s4 variants.
