Audi Car Parts: Find, buy and replace parts for Audi

Audi AG, based in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, is one of the largest car manufacturers in Germany. Audi has been part of the Volkswagen Group since the 1960s. The roots of today’s globally active car manufacturer go back to 1909, when Audi’s founding father August Horch had just left his own company Horch following disagreements with the board of directors.
From then on, August Horch called his newly founded automobile company Audi, which in Latin is roughly equivalent to the German term Horch. Horch was no longer allowed to use his own surname for business activities after leaving the car manufacturer of the same name. Audi produced its first car as early as the following year, 1910. From 1912 to 1914, Audi won several races at the International Austrian Alpine Race, and thus quickly became well-known.
In the course of the world economic crisis, Audi merged with the car manufacturers DKW, Wanderer and Horch to form Autounion in 1932. The logo introduced at that time with four rings for the four brands still adorns every Audi today. The Audi Group was re-established after the Second World War in 1949, and was finally taken over by VW in 1964. The sports car manufacturer Lamborghini has belonged to Audi AG since 1998, as has Ducati since 2012.

Known Audi models

As a manufacturer of high-quality automobiles, Audi today focuses primarily on sporty models, luxury-class sedans and SUVs. However, small cars and compact cars are also available from Audi. Within the VW Group, Audi vehicles are assigned to the premium segment. Especially in the past, Audi made a name for itself with legendary cars such as the Quattro or the Audi V8.
Today, the model designation on an Audi vehicle consists of a letter followed by a number. The number indicates the positioning of the model within the product portfolio. Well-known Audi models include:

• Compact cars such as the Audi A3

.

• Mid-size cars like the Audi A4 or Audi A5 Sportback
• Upper mid-range cars like the Audi A6 or A7
• Supercompact cars such as the Audi A8 or the e-tron GT

.

Audi car parts – what to look for when buying

Audi spare parts for mass-produced models are readily available, so you can have your vehicle repaired or repaired easily in the event of a fault. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when buying spare parts. For example, not all vehicle parts available for Audi are original. For Audi vehicle models that are built many times, spare parts are often in circulation as replica parts.
Used spare parts for rare Audis such as old Audi Quattro or Audi V8 are particularly rare. The same applies to contemporary accessories. Here you should check the condition of the products carefully so as not to experience a flop. If such spare parts are ordered by mail order, this should be done from a trustworthy dealer who also offers a right of return.

You can buy these Audi spare parts used

As an Audi driver, you can buy many spare parts for your car second-hand with confidence. These include all body parts, such as doors, hoods, trunk lid, fender or also bumpers. This makes it easy to restore the Audi after an accident. Parts of the interior are also only available second-hand for many older Audi. Seats, parcel shelves or armrests can be replaced in this way.
Whether it’s broken chassis parts or defective technology, many things are available cheaply as used Audi spare parts. Drive train parts such as drive shafts, cardan shafts or differentials can also be bought cheaply as used spare parts. Technical components such as control units or ignition coils are also available for Audi vehicles, as are windows, headlights and mirrors.

Audi engines and gearboxes

When buying Audi spare parts, special attention should be paid to engines and transmissions. If the engine and gearbox are to remain in service for a long time, it is important that the components are of impeccable quality. In the case of an engine, the correct indication of the mileage is of particular interest. To avoid a problem here, engines should only be bought from a reliable source.
In the recent past, Audi has mainly used modern engines with turbochargers, such as petrol engines as TFSI and diesel engines as TDI. Many engine variants are identical in construction to the TDI and TSI engines from Volkswagen. Not only engines are readily available second-hand, but also Audi gearboxes such as Quattro gearboxes or S-Tronic gearsticks are available as cheap second-hand spare parts.

Repairing Audi vehicles

Cars from Audi have durable bodies, so repairing these vehicles is well worth the effort. Whether it is easy or difficult to repair an Audi depends largely on the model. For example, when replacing the valves of an Audi V8, the spare part is needed thirty-two times, namely four times per cylinder.
Rare or particularly sporty Audi vehicles in particular require specialist knowledge and special tools. One of the advantages of mass-produced Audis, on the other hand, is that the models are closely related to Volkswagen. Many components fit both VWs and Audis. This makes it easier to buy spare parts and makes repairing an Audi cheaper.
