Hello everyone, as some of you might know, my Avant is a bit poorly at the moment and has had a few bit of trim taken off several times, including the engine/gearbox undertray - which looks like this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321655559942?clk_rvr_id=1136652525794&rmvSB=true

Sadly, mine's knackered and I wanted to buy the above one, but when I check the fitment of that one against a Quattro, it says it doesn't fit my car. What's the difference between a normal A4 B6 and the Quattro underneath? Could it fit with some fettling? Or can anyone suggest where to get hold of one?

Many thanks ;)
 
The engine undertray will fit but I don't think the gearbox one will because of the gearbox mount and/or propshaft. Personally I'd just fit the engine undertray, I believe the gearbox undertrays were only fitted to the diesels.
 
Thanks QC. It looks like I'll need to look elsewhere then, as my Avant is a Quattro diesel. Any ideas ?
 
Well I had a look on Ebay and found this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A4-B...h=item25c1e3b6cd:g:fX0AAOSwV0RXrW9k#vi-ilComp

It looks exactly the same as the other one but it says this on the advert,

So it seems the first seller and I are wrong in our assumption that it does not fit Quattro, saloon or estate is irrelevant.
