I ordered a pair from AliExpress using the link that Sean provided, they arrived after around ten days.
I see now that I require adapters (2006 model) but I'm puzzled as I think that would cause me further problems? The new ones are "thicker" than the originals, which have obvious signs of "rubbing" on them, from where they contact the interior trims in that area of the engine bay. I have the same items as Johnmed has posted a pic of, so I'm assuming the link got me ordering the correct replacements/upgrades, it just doesn't look like they'll fit, even with adapters?? It's never straight forward...

Look here...
They are shown on the photo with the blue bonnet - and the instructions for fitting (which came with the original (discontinued) 3-jet kit which included 2 spacers and 2 nozzles for £69) https://www.a4-freunde.com/showwiki....en+nachruesten Attachment 18320 Attachment 18321 Attachment 18322 I looked on mine, one of them may be 'kissing' the plastic cover over the plenum chamber but only just and the cover presses down easily so I don't think anything to worry about, check the tongue of the cover is in the groove of the tim under the windscreen and not sat on top of the groove.

The adators worked fine on my D3 with the Skoda heated jets, no rubbing at all so there must be a reason why everybody says they are needed I guess!

After 2006 the jet modules became slightly smaller. That is the triple jet and fan jet modules are smaller than the pre 2006 twin jet modules and therefore need the spacers.
All that the spacer does is nake the hole in the earlier D3s and D2s smaller. The original triple jets retro fit came with two sets of spacers. One each for aluminium cars (A8) and steel cars(A6 etc.). I prefer to call them spacers rather than adapters to try and stop confusion. Seans photos are good, the Audi drawings that came with the kits are not very clear. Once you lift the bonnet and start playing with them you will be surprised how clear it is in the flesh.

Finally got round to finishing this upgrade, bought the spacers from TPS for £2.80 and fitted the fan jets this evening...very happy with the performance
I even treated the old girl to a new set of wiper blades to cope with the increased water flow
