    The good news and the bad news.

    Just received Febuary addition of Audi Driver mag.
    Page 69.
    Quote title. A step in the right direction.

    At long last, Audi has set up an organisation to supply parts for early models which are no longer stocked by Audi centres. The warehouse has over 300,000 parts which can be ordered on line. This is great news for owners who are trying to keep their Audis alive BUT, at present, there is a snag, the system is only available to customers in Germany and Austria. Let's hope the coverage is extended to Britain as soon as possible. unquote.

    www.audi.de/tradition-parts

    If this has been covered on the forum before then I'll

    The bottom line for me is if it does extend to our shores I want to be able to aquire any part I need for my RS2. If I can't then it's no good to me.
    I'll watch with a lot of interest on how this turns out.

    hmm interesting. i think lots of people will be very pleased with that, and some people wont be as they like to ask GREEDY prices on parts that are NLA.

    im sure we could all think of a few people.....

            Am I right in thinking I read that its not remanufactured parts that were NLA, but just old stock with a marked up price thats always been available from dealers anyway, but they are too damn lazy or crap to source them!?

              I had a phone call from Vic Reeves ( quattrocorner) and he is not too impressed wigh this carry on, He was trying to get some stuff from them eg rs2 clips and you have to pay them by bank transfer, no cards , shipping is very lively too . There is no trade divvy offered either to those in the trade. It seems a lot of window dressing to move old stuff . The clips are coming in at near £15 to Pete with allthe add onns, not that progressive is it, and bearing in mind the state of the £1300 quid ur wings I got , you pays yer money and takes yer chance

                my cynical nature tells me this is just a way of clearing warehouse space and making a quick buck
