Advice regarding door parts.. Audi A4 2.0T Quattro S-line

[ytp1986]

Hi Everyone,

Luck has not seemed to be in my vocabulary during my short time of owning a beautiful Audi A4 2.0T Quatro S-line (special edition).

Once again I am having to ask for some advice/help regarding parts. The other day I was cleaning my car when i noticed on the drivers door the trim (its part of the door itself and is a piece of plastic that runs the length of the door) had somehow come away (the end near the bonnet as opposed to the end closest to the rear passenger door) and because I hadn't noticed it and had continued to open and close the door it has bent. *sigh*. So... I have rang audi to ask how much a replacement would be and was informed it would be in the region of £180 for the strip.. which came as a bit of a shock to me...
Since then I have been ringing round to see if I could find a cheaper alternative (places like europarts) and today was told that because its a 2007 model that I would have to go to the dealer and fork out the £180, and that had it been an earlier model that I would be able to pick 1 up no probs, however a lets say 2006 2.0 s-line door trim would not fit.

Firstly does this sound right? and secondly how do these things fit on as It doesnt seem to be a clip.. or am I wrong.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.:Blush:

Must be out of Warranty i`m guessing ? Trim parts are daft prices !

Yes it just out of warranty although I have extended Warranty with Warranty direct... Although even it have had been in Warranty my dealings with Audi so far have shown that they probably would have done nothing anyway

Hmm... Would Warranty Direct cover it though?

Hi All,

Apologies for the extremely late reply I have been working 6 days a week 80hrs a week for the last month and a half and this is the first time I've even had chance to sit at the computer.

I have attached a few pics hopefully there are the right angles you need to see if you have the part.. fingers crossed

Unfortunatly for me no Warranty Direct won't cover it. Been seeing if I can possibly find a way round having to go to Audi for the Part but options are running out. Europarts don't stock it and say its a dealer part only. The ridiculous thing is that if it were the strip running across the middle of th door it would be £100 cheaper... Just my luck.
