    2014 A4 - Shop Manuals & Maintenance Advice

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey what's going on, I recently snagged a 2014 2.0T A4 Premium Plus and I've been trying to find some shop manuals for the car. Does anyone know where I might be able to find these?

    In addition are there any weird maintenance quirks with these cars or it simply oil, plugs, etc.? Also curious to know if any of you guys are running Rotella T6 in the 2.0T's. Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: I was also curious about the typical mod schedule on these cars. I've been reading that the stock DV is a weak point, are there any other odds and ends that need to be cleaned up with these vehicles?

    Im just running mobile 1 syn 0w-40. Another maintenance item to check up on is cleaning out the carbon deposits. My car has 85k miles so its on my to do list.

    I searched high and low for a week for the service manual, and aside from a few hacked together copies online that aren't complete you can do alldatadiy.com or the official Audi service site. The Audi site is insanely expensive... alldatadiy can be had for $16-24/year depending on promo codes.

    Start an account and pay for minimum amount of time and then save all manuals as pdf. A 1-day account is $35. I did this for my friends B6 and my B8.

    Sounds good, thanks for the info! Do you perform your own service? I'm not particularly fond of dealer service for basic maintenance. I'm curious to know if doing your own oil and plugs will cause me any problems if I go in for an unrelated service.

    Assuming I have receipts and documentation of the install/change I should be fine, and obviously the oil and filters will be Audi spec.

    Yeah I came to the same conclusion, wasn't familiar about alldatadiy though. Thanks bud!

    Change your oil and filter every 5000miles, only use VW spec approved oils, and OEM filters.
