coil spring
 

anyone got a source for rear springs for my S8 please?

There are loads of variants of the springs, and at least two for the FL S8 depending on spec.
Need the colour code from the spring, or PR code from the data sticker to confirm what it is- rears are 0Y_something, probably 0YU or 0YV I think which is one white, three green.

If you're lucky Tradition will have them, which you can get via Prestige +++

Sticker attached looks like OYU+++

Just keep in mind that Prestige double tradition prices, so thats ~£616 + probably postage for just rear springs.

Yeah the Prestige price they quoted is eyewatering, not sure Tradition supply to UK post Brexit though so not sure what other options are available at the moment

Try messaging Spanker

There is also the following company in Germany that sells them. Price is 184 Euro. You might want to double check with them, as they sometimes apply a 'historic' (or something like that) fee to certain items, and shipping is very reasonable (compared to some UK companies sending stuff to NI):

Thanks guys, just need to try and determine correct part no from build sticker as there seems to be a number of options, hopefully MJ is going to be a saviour yet again +++

For the sports suspension with a 0YU or 0YV PR code we're looking at the 4D0511115AP as mentioned above with the 1 white, 3 green paint marks (always worth checking the colour and number of marks on the car I guess if you don't mind getting on your hands and knees).

The BE suffix is not noted for the sports suspension

But as mentioned, I'd always defer to someone like MJ who works with these things rather than trust my own judgement.

Prestige have them it seems:

As do Audi Tradition if you wanted to ask someone in Germany to help you out:

Brian, if you haven't got a list of the PR codes for your VIN (build sheet) then drop me a line and I can send it to you.

As for originalteilemarkt.de, I've ordered from them twice before and they've taken my money but didn't have the parts. Here's my eBay feedback from them. They didn't like it up 'em!
Of course, experiences do differ.

And it's worth noting that when DHL deliver a parcel from them, you will be stung with duties and an admin fee, so it's worth considering this (the last set of 4D0511115AN 2.8qs springs I sent to London via UPS attracted a total fee of £104).

Spankers is right, the part number ending in AP is the right for your car

My mistake, I was looking this up whilst designing a part to fix broken headrest adjustment in my comfort seats :ROFL:

Thanks for your help guys, I've ordered from the place Sean advised, (before Dean posted) , I have received an email confirming despatch and a DHL Tracking number so fingers crossed, even if there is an additional fee as Dean describes I reckon it will still be considerably cheaper than Prestige. I would be grateful if you could provide details from build sticker please Dean, its attached a couple of posts up, once again thanks again to everyone, this really is a great place+++

Hi Brian,

I can't find a way to PM a PDF file to you so perhaps this OneDrive link should serve the purpose:

Let me know if it's not.

When you ordered from originaltielemarkt did you order the part with the suffix AP? It looks like they order that part from Tradition, who are taking about 6 days to ship parts out at the moment. German companies often print a label with a tracking number when they get their order and then attach the label to the part when they receive it themselves. I'm currently waiting for a garden trimmer and the tracking number was given to me last week. And a letterbox that I ordered two weeks ago and was given the tracking number back then too. A strange practice over here. :)
Unless they have the parts in stock in which case you should see some movement straight way.

Thanks for that Dean, much appreciated. When I emailed to confirm the part no they quoted 7 to 10 days delivery so again fingers crossed +++

You're welcome +++

As you say Dean, YMMV, but thankfully I've not had an issue with this company, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested them. I've also used another company in Germany, but their site tends to only give a price if they have the stock. I also tend to email them to confirm stock.

As for DHL/UPS (you mention both above), it must be a cost+weight issue that warranted the £104 fee. The last item I ordered that I can find a receipt for was for a D2 fog light grill. Cost was 67 Euro + 28 Euro for postage. No fees.

And that unfortunately is the code I used on the other site.

Brian, did you notice the comment from Dean about the AP part number? Just hope between all the posts (and edits), you ordered the correct parts.

I did thanks Sean +++

Just to close this off, received these today, as expected things were very efficient at the German end, then the DHL ref no seemed to show no progress for quite some time from Sep 8th. Again as expected when it arrived in UK, (I had no knowledge of this happening) typical UK customer service took over and everything ground to a halt for a couple of weeks and then I received a letter (yes in snail mail, why not email FFS?) yesterday from Parcel Force with the amount I had to pay for import duty/VAT etc, Brexit has been a great benefit for all:ROFL: Anyhow I have had to wait for around 3 weeks to get these but on the positive side I have saved around £200 from what I would have paid if I had bought them from a UK source, and as a poor pensioner living in Scotland where thanks to those SNP clowns alcohol is more expensive than elsewhere in the UK :tuttut: that's a great result for me+++ Hopefully get them fitted tomorrow and then a fresh MOT:D

Good job on saving the £200, no point giving it to forum sponsors if the forum is down constantly and unsecure :ROFL:
