Urs4 2.2T litle project

[newsh]

Yeah, I know, I tried on my first Avant...

[Majorcina]

Sorry


At least you know I'm really looking

No need for sorry mate,i know its not perfect,it need a bit of adjustment

[UrS4boy]

Yeah i know Dave,i worked abouth 2h to make it work. Now opens perfect

I think the later European UrS6 avants had a handle that was factory modified because the European UrS6 sedans and avants had the same centre taillight section with no separate red "bar" for the avant handle. When we in North America buy the Euro UrS6 center taillight section, the handle on our NAmerican avants has to be trimmed, probably similar to what you had to do.

Check your PM.

[Majorcina]

Yes i did the same,but what is intresting,this taillights come from an avant from Uk.
First i toth i only need to unscrew the red bar and would fit,i was surprice when it didnt work. But i am happy that i fix it up

Regardless of what you thought you bought, that is an UrS4 sedan center section. It's great though, and the way you modified your handle to make it work provides a very steath look, better than the factory.

But then again, this what the factory did with the Euro UrS6s - sedans and avants had the same center section.

Maybe previous owner did the same like i did

That's weird as it came from my URS6 as the previous owner needed a new one and all they could find was this one from Germany and it fit and operated on my car perfect but for the fact it was for URS4 ie straight lines as apposed to slanted on the URS6. This was how i bought it on my car. Now weirdly the URS6 one i sourced even before i owned my URS6 (was meant for the 2.8 30v) which is now on my URS6 has no cut out either and i took that of a rhd URS6 estate. It works perfectly needing no modification.

Just noticed the centre section is so shinny the quarter lights need replacing for new or tacken out and given the special treatment.

That makes sense because the factory modified the hatch handles for the UrS6 avants so that cut-out and extra red plastic bits were not needed like they were on the UrS4 avants. Therefore it is very likely that an UrS4 sedan center section fit on an UrS6 avant without further modification (the factory had already done it).

Yeah i know,cant source any for normal price...

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Yeah i know,cant source any for normal price...

I sold you that one for £150 which was good because of the Mint condition plus postage and i recently saw one fetch just over £200 plus postage on ebay so they seam to be going up in price.For some reason somethings telling me you can get a new one from Audi. Can anyone corroborate this.

What is normal price now for these Marko?

[Majorcina]

I saw 100e a peace,some people are drinking when puting them on sale,or is somethig wrong with me

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

100e is like £75 and for that price you only get cracked ones if your lucky to even find one advertised. The last price Audi did the cabriolet ones which look the same but probably smaller was £250 each last summer but again i think they are NLA since i enquired. Dave do you know if Audi have any stock of these URS4 and URS6 rear centre sections??

[Majorcina]

I didnt talk abouth centar section,i was talking abouth rear side brake/blinker lights(dont know exact word for them)

Oh i see.So the rear quarters second hand are 100E each.Got you. As long as your rear quarter lights are not cracked you could give them the treatment with some choice polishes and elbow grease.
