Which A3 Model do I have?

[reiss]

Hi guys,
Am looking for a few spare parts for my A3 (rear wiper blade, rear brake set, front wiper motor), but not sure which model I have (with regards to the 8P part)
Mines a 2005 1.6 FSI SE, 3 door
How can I tell?
Thanks

2005 should be well into 8P territory.

Check your V5, your chassis number will either start WAUZZZ8P or WAUZZZ8L

thanks Chris,
Yes, it's an 8P. Some parts I'm looking at say either 8P1 or 8PA. Just wondering what the difference is?

8P1 8P2 8P3 are the different flavours of A3 over the years.

Yours should be the 8P1 going by the year.

it actually looks like the 8P2 judging by the front grill.
I just put my reg number into Euro car parts and it says I'm a 2006??

Your car is more than likely on the switchover point if its the same grille as the 8P2.

It may be a 2006MY (model year) but if you PM me your reg I can check for you on a different site?

thanks again

no problemo - so its a 2006MY car for people viewing.

I would be buying parts for the 2006 car as technically, thats what it is.
