Audi S3 door sills....

[DJ-S3]

Hey,
does anyone know where to get some from?? mine have deep gashes in them from the previous owner and i think it ruins the look of the car. plus i need to get the rust underneath them fixed so thought i might aswell fix them.

guessin there called door sills. on outside of door.lol

so if anyone knows of a place to get some new ones or even used ones in very good nik i would much appreciate it. oh n how much they would be? some where around the yorkshire area? prefferibly near Wakefield. ha

cheers

Do you mean the triangle shaped platsic that runs along the bottom of the door? or the Plastic strips half way up the door?

 

[DJ-S3]

yeah the light grey triangle things at bottom of door. need some new ones.

dont suppose you now where to get some from??

 

[voorhees]

try www.partsgateway.co.uk as they are breakers specialising in VAG and they email you when/if they have the part and will deliver otherwise dealers

dont suppose you now where to get some from??

Try E-bay, a brekeryard or a local TPS or GSF?
If i was to inquire how much one was at my local TPS i could give you there number and they will deliver it to you within 48 hours

yeah if you wunt mind. dont mean to sound stupid but whats TPS or GSF mean?? i own a few motobikes so GSF sounds like a motobike to me ha

have heard of GSF somewhere else i do believe, when i was lookin for disks for my lupo. but TPS has gone straight over my head. lol

Ok well the soonest ill be able to ask would be Friday if thats ok?

TPS stands for Trade Parts solutions and it's a local warehouse near me that sell's all the parts to the main dealers in this area. So all the parts are 100% genuine and you can buy at a fraction of the Dealers price.
Same for GSF which stands for German, Swedish, Frech who also stock VAG parts .

 

[DJ-S3]

ignore that question about TPS. just seen an advert on here about them.

but i still wunt mind there number. got a glimce of the advert but dint manage to click on it in time.

been to audi and only asked for the back right little part and the front left long part thats attached to the door and there asking for £130. how bads that. anyone know of any scrappers near wakefield that may have audi S3's in?

so i can go see how much they'll be from there.

 

[S3 chj]

think i got a rear one here mate, i will dig out a pic now

are these what you mean only got the rear tho

 

[DJ-S3]

think they are. cant really tell from that picture. its the traingular grey part that runs along the bottom of the S3's doors.

i only need the back right that isnt joined to the door and the front left part thats joined to the door.

previous owns some how managed to get massive scratch marks on them.

you got any more pics of them so i can tell properly??

 

[DJ-S3]

can just about see on this picture what i mean. can even see the gash in it.

 

[DJ-S3]

this is a better pic of what i mean. look at bottom of the door.

the grey things. not sure what there called. but i need the back right small bit. and the front left long bit.

if anyones got some to spare? of knows of a scrap yard near wakefield??

 

[S3 chj]

this is the only one i have left.

 

[DJ-S3]

im guessin its the right part. i'll have a closer look at it later on. how much for it?

 

[S3 chj]

il check the part number now how much did audi want for it when you phoned them?

cheers chris

part number is 8L7 853 700 think its the right hand side

 

[DJ-S3]

papers in car n im at work at min so cant get to it. but i think it was about 25quid ish for the back right. it was the front left long part that was about 80quid which i thought was a joke.

 

[S3 chj]

just spoke to neil in bridgend audi there £45 and would have to be ordered in, it is the right rear you need

 

[DJ-S3]

just been intouch wi my m8 who works in audi and yeah 45quid included vat is rite.
