Ok. I asked whether the link I gave above was for the part that you're looking for.

However you mention that it's like your current one but not as clean and then continue to show the side of the car.
I'm sorry to say that I think that you're adding to the confusion. At least for me
Maybe it's a Sunday morning thing
The photos in the ebay link you give DO show that the steering wheel is on the left as it is a left hand drive vehicle (LHD).
At the risk of sounding condescending (it's not coming across clearly that we're on the same page here),
when it comes to cars and car parts, the sides are determined by the position of the driver in the vehicle, facing forward. Meaning, looking over the bonnet, and sitting in the driver’s seat, your left hand is the left side, your right hand is the right side.
The image you've uploaded of a side shot "seems" to show the steering wheel nearest to the camera. This would suggest that is a typical UK RHD car.
So any part on the "steering wheel side" of that car is a "right" part.
I mention that just for any future reference.
So on to the part.......
If you're looking at the engine cover from the FRONT of the car (as you would when you've lifted the bonnet), the oil aperture would be on the LEFT of the PART in your pictures (and also in the photos that the dealer put in their eBay ad that you posted). Even though it's on the RIGHT side of the car.
If you look here you can see the engine section of a 2009 A3:
http://autofans.info/audi/ersatzteil...s_typ=646&hg=1
Search for "cover" on that page and of the 22 results, look for the one next to the 1.9 diesel " cover for intake manifold" and BLS/BXE engine. (It's the 17th result for me).
Then click that option to go to this page:
http://autofans.info/audi/katalog.ph...dtafel2=103052
Look for part number 8 in the list below.
There are two of them:
03G103967B which is next to the BLS to the right (the one you mentioned)
03G103925CA for the BXE
If you search online for both part numbers you can see the part number ending in B for the BLS engine has it's hole on the left.
https://www.prestigemotorservices.co...em-336347.html
If you search for the part with the CA at the end you can see that the part has the hole on the right.
https://www.prestigemotorservices.co...em-199589.html
Here's hoping that you've now got the part number that you want or need and that you can search around for a clean one. Or if not, you know where to look to get part numbers for your cars.
(I use the Autofans.info site because it gives me more info that the audi.7zap.com site but it can be a bit slow at times)
