Every factory figure
Every torque value the factory specifies for the platform, beside its tightening stages and condition — cold, warm or re-torque.
Matched to your engine
Each value carries the exact engine codes it applies to — 53 on the B5, 67 on the C5 — with a full engine-code map so you are never guessing.
Built for the bench
A4 portrait, opens on your phone, tablet or laptop. Universal values and engine-specific values are colour-separated in the margin.
Context, not just numbers
A year-by-engine availability timeline, a tightening-notation guide and a glossary — so a value always makes sense.

Questions, answered
Does it cover the S4, RS4, S6, RS6 and allroad?
Yes. The B5 reference covers the A4, S4 and RS4 including the 2.7T biturbo; the C5 covers the A6, allroad, S6 and RS6 including the 4.2 V8. See the coverage table above for the engine-code count on each.
Is this the same as the parts catalogue?
No — they are different books and sold separately. The torque reference gives you the Newton-metres, stages and conditions; the Master Parts Catalogue gives you every factory diagram and OEM part number. Most people building an engine end up with both.
Where does the data come from?
The factory workshop data for the platform, curated for the bench — not forum figures. Each value states the engine codes and the condition it applies to.
How is it delivered?
A download link is emailed within minutes of payment. Link valid 30 days; reply to your receipt any time for a fresh one.

Can you produce a torque reference for an Audi you don’t list yet?
Possibly — please submit your request via the contact page and, based on demand, we can consider it.
