Undertray clips.
 
Hi all. I need about 10 undertray clips (interesting afternoon's driving). I've heard they're £5+ each from Audi. Is there anywhere I can get them cheaper? I don't have a TPS account, and don't mind ordering off eBay, but want to make sure I get the correct size clips before ordering.

Help!

I think these are the ones you need for D3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10xSet-Aud...-/181752758720 but there should be retaining washers in the set as well.

Thanks very much. That's the buggers. They're exactly like the one I have in my hand! Just ordered some from a UK seller using the part number. I owe you one +++

Thanks again to ainarssems. My screws arrived and I fitted about 7 of them today. A few of the retaining clips had corroded and I used nuts and bolts in their place, given that I use an oil vacuum to change the oil it's no concern. The undertray is going nowhere!

My advice to others would be get more than you need, also buy the retaining clips too.

All the best.

John.

need to order some, how are your clips surviving?
cheers

The screws are fine, but my retaining clips were past their best. I used nuts and bolts more than the clips. I use an oil pump so don't need access to the sump regularly.

In retrospect I would order clips and screws.

Thanks. Would you recommend the Fleabay ones?

The screws I got were perfect. I'd just advise you renew your clips, as they rust away.

I hate those things - they keep working their way loose on mine. :(

They are hateful things. I've seen the undertray hanging low enough times to just bolt the thing in.
