Centre Cap Confusion

[Willenium]

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace a missing centre cap on a set of wheels and I've come up with two potential candidates but on the face of it I can't tell much, if any difference between 8T0601170A and 4B0601170A. When I search those part numbers they both come up as 69mm caps but is there something I'm missing? Will one fit better than the other maybe?

Thanks

It's the underside fitting, apparently; go see: https://www.myaudiq5.com/index.php/topic/2102-stupid-question/ post #6

"Centre cap part number 8T0 601 170A (with indent and notch) fits snug on my winter wheels whereas part number 4B0 601 170A (solid clip) spins and would probably fall out."

Also here, giving a list of rims (by part number) that 8T0601170A fits: https://www.vag-navisystems.com/acc...mbios/1813/8t0601170a-7zj-audi-center-cap/294

Hope this helps...

That helps a lot thanks

I did read last night the reference to there being solid clips on one and indents on the other but couldn't see what they meant. I see it now. There seems to be more of the 4B0 ones around and for less money but don't want to buy one then find out that they just fall off.

If the wheels aren't going straight on then I still have a bit of time to look around for a cheap 8T0 to match the rest.
