04A41.8T_CVT

I am currently in Qatar, can somebody having access to both Euorpean and American version of ETKA verify that the following two parts (shark fin) are swapable?

8E0-035-503d-gru(USA)for 2004 A4 1.8t CVT with one square hole in roof top. I bought it used in USA and was missing the shark fin.

8E5-035-503 (part number provided by Audi Qatar, talked to him on the phone)

The part is $260.00 in good ole USA and equivalent of only $68.00 in Doha Qatar. The Audi dealer in Qatar can not pull the part number using my USA VIN and will still have to order 8E5-035-503. If somebody can send pics with it, it would be very helpful.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions.

I suspect the only difference is that the US version you posted has the XM/Sirius atenna integrated into it, whereas the other antenna does not. I would imagine that Audi made them so that they are cross compatible, but this is just a guess.

I do see the part number the Qatar dealership is pulling up but it's not a sharkfin. It's flat and goes into the rear glass.

Are you sure the part number you are reading off isn't the part number for only the plastic cover that mounts over the actual antenna parts? I can't find any part that starts with 8E003503, they only come up as 8E5035503...

Good luck.
