Anybody know where this can be obtained from?

It literally took 5 attemps to get the right bolts for the vibration damper, back and forth at mt local parts place. I found a site on line that had the audi parts catalouge (http://www.vagcat.com/), looked up the part myself, took the part numbr to shop, correct bolts right away.

Trouble is, this fabulous site just seems to have vanished a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks.

Thank you for that link, looks an interesting site.

I requires registration and asks for personal information such as address. Is this an official site? Is there any membership fees?

Thanks.

It is the official VAG aftermarket workshop system and very expensive but you only pay for what you use. When you join one site it automatically registers you with the other 3. I have been registered with erWin for over a decade and I am now an officially recognised independent VW repairer able to perform all ODIS and GEKO operations, this is carried out through the erWin portal. However, this on't help you with part numbers and ETKA is a problem on modern Windows systems so I have registered with Partlink 24 but that is costly and not very good.

OK, thank you for that.

I have no idea why this isn't free to audi owners, your using it to buy from them; thats like being charged to look through a Argos cataloge.


7 euro's to look for a £1 bolt. Still it explains why the other site went down and might be useful for very rare and hard to find part.

I'll probbaly register, at least I know it's the official Audi site.

It's free to Skoda owners, they just like Audi owners to show them how much money they have.

The other site goes down quite often, usually because the content they're hosting isn't theirs to host.

I should trade in for a Skoda, second thoughts.

Yes, I guess that was it.

I spend many thousands of £'s every month with VAG UK at TPS on genuine spares and I have to pay for the privilege of being able to look the part numbers up and order from them...
