Does AUDI have a RealOEM-type site?
 
As the title suggests - does Audi have a parts search engine like we have it for the BMWs? My mom's A6 lost few screws that hold together some undercarriage plastic trim pieces and while i can go to a dealer and hope they know what i am looking for, i'd rather walk in with part numbers that are correct.

So... is there such a site for Audis?

Seems like no.

VWVortex.com - Audi equivalent to realoem.com

I guess Audi doesn't have a hardcore DIY owner base.:p:

Part availability was horrible back in the '90s. Tried to get a replacement prop shaft (CV joints were shot). No idea why Audi WELDED the CVs to the shaft!:yikes:

Ended up sending my prop shaft to Audi Germany, they cut the old ones off the shaft, welded new CVs on, balanced and re-painted. The '85 Coupe GT Quattro was off the road for over a month!

Such BS I sold it shortly after that.

Hope they have their US parts issues sorted by now.

No doubt.

Used to play with the local and state PDs when the roads were snow/ice.

I went to H.S. with a guy whose parents owned a leasing company. He always had teh latest & greatest. The few I really loved were a 924, the Quattro & a mid 80's Supra.(Quattro & Supra were after school)

I had a set of larger diameter studded snow tires on a 2nd set of wheels. Would jack the coilovers up 2" to clear the larger tires and lock the center & rear diffs.

I would be out playing in conditions the plows/salt spreaders were parked for. Had the roads to myself.
