Default Struggling to get PR codes

I need to order some parts but I need the PR (build) codes. I don't have a user / service manual and there's no sticker in the wheel-well.
I tried Audi customer service phoneline but they said they couldn't help and told me to contact my local Audi dealership <COUGH>Carlisle Audi</COUGH> but they are just plain ignoring me.
Likely too much like hard work ╮(╯_╰)╭

Anyone know of another method, or friendly dealer who can help?

Thanks

Out of curiosity, I contacted my local dealership (Belfast Audi), and after explaining it, and someone speaking to the 'parts department', they came back and said they couldn't do it.

It seems that somewhere along the line, this functionality has been removed from their systems. Not sure if it's relevant anymore, but the printout from the dealer was simply called a 'Car Data printout'.

You can get them on eBay, I used it before for Q7 as I do not have manual and the sticker on spare wheel we'll is faded unreadable. Here is one example, it's just the first one I found it might be different seller than what I used and there might be cheaper offers.

And these are being output from ETKA itself, the very same system that the dealerships use! The dealerships are obviously not making any money from this, so they won't provide the information.

It might be worth a go for that price. Main reason for needing them is to get the correct part numbers.

I seem to remember our forum Sponsors being able to provide this info to members?

Any joy finding the build sticker using that video I linked to?

I know exactly what you mean. This is what the weather turned to about 99% of the way into changing the pre-cat O2 sensors back in May!

I paid the eBay guy for the PR codes (and engine / transmission codes etc) so I've got those stored away now
