I bought it directly off Apikol using the navigation to the A8.
I just looked up C5 A6 to see and they do look very similar. There's no cross reference on their site though, so we'd have to check ETKA.
I did buy the rear mount bushes for the C5 though, as the genuine ones are the same part number. The factory ones are a bonded metal-rubber bush, while the Apikol urethane ones are a two piece and shouldered bush with a metal inner sleeve. The C5 rear mount must be slightly narrower as the bushes are just a little shallow in the neck for the D2, which we were going to fix in the lathe after freezing them.
However the rear bushes on the car were in excellent shape with very little movement, so we left them alone.
Besides, took us half a day by the time we stuffed around going to the bolt shop and having our roast pork rolls for lunch!
