Default door pull retaining clip

well thats was a frustrating day, took the door panel off to figure out why the pin was dissapearing into the door when locked, only to fail on reassembly.

the belden cable that attaches to the interior door pull has it seems a tiny metal spring clip that holds it into the lever.

or should I say, did, as it fired itself across the garage never to be seen again

i'm not talking about the U shaped one that holds the cable to the door but a tiny thing thats surrounds the cable end and holds it into the rotating assembly

anyone know if these are still available or have a part number? currently the door only opens from the outside which is frustrating as you can imagine

Is this the culprit you're referring to, number 32 in the image? If so, MJ has a thread about 3D printing them. Last I remember, it was still in development.

I remember having a similar frustrating day working on a door of one of my previous 8s. Horrible fiddly job.

steamship beat me to it with the part number ...

There's a link to the illustration and the rest of the part numbers here:

And a potential supplier in Belarus:

Yeah they are NLA now. I 3D printed some prototypes but they needed a little work and then I broke the printer

I have a new printer now though so I can have another go at them

Seem to be in stock here:

... although shipping might be more expensive than the part.

EDIT:

I tend to look here for parts:

28 cents, and shipping 'should' be less.

Audi Tradition have them for €0.19 each!

But you have to find a way to get one (or more) out of them; it won't be easy. Or cheap!
