Questions
Where can I get the Audi A6 owner's manual?
Audi publishes owner's manuals on its official owner site (audiusa.com). Choose the A6 and your model year, or sign in with your VIN so the manual matches your trim.
Is the manual the same for every A6 year?
No. Manuals are written for each model year and the A6 spans 1996–2026. Equipment, infotainment and maintenance intervals change between years and generations, so always use the edition for your year.
How do I check recalls on a Audi A6?
Use the recall checker on this page, which searches NHTSA's recall database by model year. Recalls apply to specific VINs, so confirm with a Audi dealer or at nhtsa.gov/recalls using your 17 character VIN.
