Thanks mate
I may get back to you on that as you not too far away from me, is that a local dealer as I couldn't get any discount off my local boys they claim they have no margin in these items
I have some more pictures of the second hand one I'll post up once I have them loaded to photobucket

Many thanks Glyn

Right here we go some pictures of various angles
I'm not sure what I'm looking for here so any help on if anything looks broken or missing
They have stated they are prepared to have it back if there's any issues but as with all second hand parts you takes a chance I guess
Any help much appreciated, thank god for this forum
Cheers
Glyn

It's from TPS, they provide Audi with their parts. Straight from the Audi factory with two years warranty. Never buy parts from Audi again! It's supposed to be £903 without VAT.

Deffo missing the pipe hun, as I suspected. Christ knows why they would have removed it...?

I will provide you with a more in depth reply later-I'm off to Audi to get you a price for a new one

I'm gutted that I chucked my old one in the skip-I would have shown you the differences between them and pointed the pipe out to you.

I had heard about TPS before but thought you had to be trade to get them to deal with you?
Is that not the case then?
Many thanks

HAHA yes, love it!. That is the output for the air, the pipe would follow around the compressor to the side (in the picture, it traces to your right) connects internally with a T piece, the rubber hose from your car will connect to part of the T piece.

I have spoken to Audi, and I can get it to you for £980 - so basically the same price as Singh

I forgot to ask whether you can get the pipe seperately. I would ask them why they removed it, and how and whether it is damaged?

Thanks Bex
Your time and trouble is much appreciated, if I go the Audi route I'll try this TPS first if they will deal with none trade, I also believe they have a branch in Derby only a few miles from me. I don't want to put you to any more trouble you have been a star.

On the scrappy one...I'll drop him an email with my arty picture and ask.
How does this pipe fit in ? There appears to be a thread in the hole from what I can see on the picture is there a threaded union on the end of the pipe ?
I am still confused by the part number which whilst looking genuine doesn't show up anywhere.

Also I still have this other spares place coming back to me who quoted £500 and they confirmed they are not sourced from the Ebay chap.
Blimey I'll be glad to finally order this and get my car sorted.
Everyone's input is much appreciated
Cheers
Glyn


Singh, can you let me know if you aware if TPS will take the order from non-trade as their website says trade only .

They will but shouldn't and would be in trouble if found out!
