YiamCross Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I've had my '96 4.2 QS for a couple of 3 months now and the guy I bought it off has not come through with the paperwork, which includes a total lack of manual. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get my hands on one? I'm still trying to suss out all the ins & outs of the climate control & radio even after trawling through all that Google has to offer. I'm also hoping to track down a decent independent specialist who's good with A8's. There are a number of names that seem to be a reasonable distance from Guildford and I wondered if anyone out there had any experience, comments or suggestions. The shortlist consists of AH autos, VW Autos, someone in Hersham and someone in Witley (not sure of the names but I do have phone numbers) I am determined to make the meet at Windsor tomorrow so maybe see some of you there!

PaulW Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I would consider getting a Bently repair manual, which is CD based for US bound cars. About $75 US, which is about 37 pounds these days! I would also get a vag-com cable and run the ross-tech software. You can find links to both web sites here: http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles.html Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyMcC Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 If you're ever in London or Romford area's I'll bring my manual to go through. I'm in the Far East until the 3rd though! I can scan the a/c pages when I get back if you're not sorted by then. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_a6 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Daft as it sounds have you tried the Audi dealer? My S8 handbook was in Arabic but my local UK dealer got hold of a pre-facelift S8 manual for me and I think it was about a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YiamCross Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 SneakyMcC- romford, eh? I used to live in Hornchurch & market days in Romford were part of my life. I remember the horrible fountain they built which almost immeadiately spouted froth & bubbles over a wide area on those rare occasions it was switched on. Damn schoolkids & thier detergent, eh? Probably, hopefully, gone now. But yes, parents live nr Basildon so I'm over that way not too infrequently so may well take you up on your generous offer. I shall also try a dealer, sometimes they can surprise by being helpful and not unreasonably expensive. Ta for all your help. Now, where do I get it serviced....?
