The A5 coupe, Cabriolet and Sportback are covered across two generations: the 8T (2007 to 2016) and the F5 (2017 onward), plus the newest models. Most cars use 2.0 TFSI engines, with V6 and V8 power in the S5 and RS5.


Model year 2013 is part of the first-generation A5 (8T) (2008–2016). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2013 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2013 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “D”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 13 years old, a 2013 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
