We list the A4 across five generations: B5, B6, B7, B8 and B9. Engines include the 1.8T, the 2.0 TFSI, the 3.0 V6 and TDI diesels, with front-wheel drive or quattro.


Your 2016 Audi A4 is from the A4 B8 generation, which covers model years 2009–2016. It is the last model year of this generation and includes the running changes made during production, which is why a manual for the exact year matters.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2016 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “G”. 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 10 years old, a 2016 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.
Same generation: 2009 Audi A4, 2010 Audi A4, 2011 Audi A4, 2012 Audi A4, 2013 Audi A4, 2014 Audi A4, 2015 Audi A4.
