The Audi Build Sticker. A Wealth of information
1 Attachment(s)
Many items of equipment are fitted at the factory depending on when the car was built, and from an external appearance and drivability they can seem identical. At this point, the only real way to tell is to refer to the build sticker.
The sticker is on the inside cover of your original Audi Service booklet, and a dupliacate is stuck inside the spare wheel well. This square, white sticker has every code on that is required to work out exactly what part is needed for your '8. An example is below: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1374907483 |
I'm sure many know this but for those that don't it's worth putting here:-
To find out what all the options on your code sticker are go here:- http://igorweb.org/equidec/Default.aspx (using the codes from above posting image as an example) enter them like so X2B;BOA;C8C;GOQ; ....etc etc hit decode when all are entered and you get this list:- X2B = National sales program Great Britain B0A = Component parts set without country-specific design requirement C8C = Alloy wheels 7.5J x 18 G0Q = 5-speed automatic transmission for four-wheel drive vehicle H6V = Tires 245/45 R 18 96Y J1G = Battery 450 A (92 Ah) M72 = 8-cyl. gasoline engine 4.2 L/220 kW V8 Motronic, closed-loop catalyt. converterbase engine is T7W Q1D = Sports front seats 1BE = Sports suspension/shock absorption 1AH = Electronic differential lock (EDL) 1G3 = Alloy spare wheel with original equipment tires 2PV = Leather trimmed sports steering wheel 1N1 = Power steering 5RV = Right exterior mirror: aspherical 5SJ = Left exterior mirror: convex T7W = 8-cylinder gasoline engine 4.2 L Unit 077.5 (aluminum) 0JZ = Without determination of weight categoryfor front axle 4UE = Air bag for driver and front seat passenger 0YZ = Without determination of weight categoryfor rear axle 0G7 = Tiptronic 8AE = Radio "RCD310 MP3" 8GL = Alternator 120 A 8FA = Without second battery 8RV = 10 speakers (passive) 1KE = Disc brakes, rear 1LC = Disc brakes, front 3FR = Electric sliding/pop-up solar sunroof with automatic pre-selection 1BE = Sports suspension/shock absorption :) |

I guess you've tried looking :D, so get out your service book, have a look in the front for the page with a sticker, like the one at the top of this post. If you don't have the service book, have a look in the hole where your spare wheel is kept. Hopefully your duplicate build sticker is still there. When you have the sticker, check the codes for leather (they may be different to the codes on the exaple at the top of this thread), get the code decoder,also mentioned in this thread, and type in the codes from your sticker. It should then tell you all about your car, including the type and colour of the leather fitted. If you post a picture of your build sticker, I'll decode it for you if you want +++ |
well i managed to find out the interior colour.its bt -anthracite, so which will be the best colour to match if i want to replace door panels and seats black or blue? Or is there a anthracite its just hard to come by?

Superb wee decoder, cheers +++

being a wet and miserable day here in southern france I though I would have a look to see what the options codes list in the service book meant , intended to do it for a few years
clicked on the igorweb link which didn't work , but got there thanks to mr google apart from discovering that I had acoustic glass [ whatever that is ] I discovered things that I don't have , and wouldn't know what it was if I did !! eg 4LA without controls ...I know they are introducing driverless cars but I didn't realise I had one 3HA without leather parts control ...the mind boggles 1SA without additional front underbody guard ...would that mean double thickness ? in addition I have CBC but audi must be keeping it secret as it is not in the list , or maybe they are just telling about something else I don't have ! ah well , kept me out of mischief I suppose |
