Hi Colin

That number is 100% correct. I'll take a photo of my invoice and post it up in a bit so you can show him that!

That part number:

Gave me this cover:

James you are a star mate. It look's like i'm missing the V at the beginingof the part number..

 

[quattrojames]

No worries

I'm not sure how much difference that V makes, I'm sure it would have been possible to work it out without it!

Do the fitting lugs (or whatever they're called?) that I presume are shown in the first of those photo's come with the part or you have to order those seperately?

Oh and does anyone have a part number for the dipstick for the 1.8T (just the dipstick not the tube) - it's suffered the brittle plastic syndrome and a bit has broken off.

They're available seperately. I didn't bother, the cover just sits in place and is held by the rubber seal around the engine bay.

I asked the very same question in this thread:

http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-a4-cabriolet-s4-forum-b6-chassis/68758-engine-covers.html

This is the cover placed in the car, you can see where it needs to be trimmed by the intercooler pipe:

This is the threaded part on the header tank:

And this is the rubber bung on the underside of the new cover:

So there must be a male bung part that screws into the header tank to mate with the underside of the new cover ....?

And this is the answer I got:

James my cover is the RS4 cover. It's got the rubber cup inside too but I can't use it as the 1.8t doesn't have the thread in the expansion bottle.

The part number for the RS4 cover is - 8E0 103 927F

You need to get a rubber bush, sleeve and longer bolt for the washer bottle. There's a mounting lug on the cover for it. I trimmed my cover at the front and it's held in place with a cable tie onto the back of the left headlamp - The RS4 has an extra bracket riveted on the front panel to house a rubber bush like the washer bottle bolt. You can't buy the bracket on it's own.

Part Numbers -

8E0 103 541 - Bush
078 129 734 - Spacer
078 129 669 - Rubber bush
N 105 538 03 - Bolt

on my expansion bottle there was a screw, so drilled a small hole in the cover and screwed it the expansion bottle

Thanks, but don't think it's my engine code. I like the idea of getting one that is better grade of plastic than the OEM one though.

I asked the very same question in this thread:

Thanks James. It seems good enough without the fixings, but I'll look when it's light to see if I have anything there that might work.
