We cover two A7 Sportback generations: the 4G (2010 to 2018) with supercharged 3.0-liter V6 power, and the 4K (from 2018) with a 3.0-liter turbo V6 and 48-volt mild hybrid. The S7 and RS7 use twin-turbo V8 engines.


Model year 2018 is part of the first-generation A7 (4G) (2011–2018). 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 2018 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “J”. 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 8 years old, a 2018 vehicle is usually past its basic warranty. Typical jobs at this age are brakes, suspension parts, fluids, the 12V battery and diagnosing sensor faults with the factory wiring diagrams.
