Replacement load cover

[iwaters]

Anyone got any suggestions where I can get replacement load cover for an Avant, in beige?

I've tried Parts Gateway and Breakeryard.com, and obviously looked on Ebay, there are loads out there for an A4 but Sweet FA for an A6.

Don't want to buy a new one from Audi because they cost about £350

I was after one for my Allroad last year, I persevered with eBay and finally got an immaculate one for 75 quid, looked like it had been in the garage stored for years, brand new.

What I did was to find out the part number (ask Audi, ie. get a quote, but take a soft mattress to fall on, or look on vagcat.com). Search for the part number on eBay, make sure you search descriptions too.

Took me a month or two but it paid off.

How on earth do people lose these things???????

......plus if you search by part number on eBay, you can search in Europe too.

Thanks for the response. I think on Ebay you can set up searches and it emails when you new stuff is added. Will try that with the part number.

In my defence I haven't lost it (the cover that is). The bracket on the end broke and when I pulled the cover out it ripped the side of it and looks a state.

I was in the same boat and had no luck with breakers. I then managed to buy a new one for £90 off an ebay parts seller. I'd agree you have to be quite creative with your search terms but it's worth persevering.
