Huge problem, need help.
 

I'll pay via paypal whoever can answer this with accuracy, a fair sum of money.


I've got a 2001 Audi A4 Avant Quattro with a 1.8T Engine.

The Drivers Side Rear Spindle/Upright (The part the Hub/Bearing seats into) has broken (Don't ask). I need a new one.


I need to know ~what~ years share the same Spindle, and if the 2.8 version of my car shares the same spindle.

As, a 1999 a4 with a 2.8 is in the junkyard nearby, and I could in theory use that, but I hear the bearing size is different for the 2.8. I've no way of finding out.

If you do not get a answer on here then call the parts dept. at the local Audi dealer. They can cross reference .

Thanks, also I need to know if there is a difference between quattro and FWD for this part. Sorry for so many questions.


I did try calling the dealer today, they seemed vague when I asked them to cross-reference for me, since at that point they knew I didnt intend to pay them the 650 they wanted for it.

Ok, part of the issue is solved. Found someone with a 1999 Quattro 1.8 with one for sale, I know 99-02 definitely share the same knuckle.

Issue now : Mine is a wagon, his is a sedan. Do they share the same knuckle/suspension?

Use the parts fiche at vagcat.com to figure it out.
