Towing Eye

[metricspaces]

Could anyone help me with getting the part number for the towing eye for a 1999 S3 please? (turns out the towing eye is missing from my car)

I had a look at the catalogue for the JACK/TOOLS

http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/au/A3/1999/201/48/2392835/#14

​

and there is no part number for the towing eye???

So, I took a look at the FRONT BUMPER

http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/au/A3/1999/201/56/2405756/

​

and I see the following...

chrome
/ 17 8L0807441




covering / towing eye
right / TURBO
8L0807441 3FZ


satin black
/ 17A 8L0807441A

​

Is 8L0807441 3FZ the part number I want, or 8L0807441A?

Any help greatly appreciated, currently unable to tow my car

Thanks for that. Where did you get that number from?

I did a search on http://www.vagcat.com/find/?art=4B0805616A and that part is only showing up for the facelift models i.e. 2001 onwards.

Are you sure that part number definitely fits a 1999 S3?

Yeah, I hope not. I rang up the Audi parts department and they couldn't see the part number. So I'll use the one you gave me. Thanks for that.
