Pre Facelift A8 D2 Paint Codes & Names
 

Note there are 3 different groups of colours, based the age/vin of your car.

The first code is the paint code, as found on the build sticker (see here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=37) and the second code is the 'sales code' as you would find in Audi sales brochures.

I'm a bit confused on this one, on my service book it misses out the paint code but only has the interior code WJ. Rang up Audi and they my paint code is E77WJ :Confused::Confused: Can someone shed some light on this. All the others start with 'L'

WJ refers to the cream interior colour...

The E77 looks like a load of rubbish to me !

It certainly doesn't match anything else.....

Did you ring an Audi dealer, or Audi customer services ?

The Audi A8 team, will give them another call tomorrow.
