05-27-201407:31 AM

Does anyone have a source to purchase replacement bolts/screws/fasteners for our skid plates? When I got the car information technology was already missing a few and over time I have lost more than. I would like to replace the ones I am missing but I never see anyone selling them and I cannot find a good source anywhere. I do non want to buy an unabridged skid plate as mine is just fine but I would like to make sure it stays on!

^this

Or

Things like this I will usually check with dealer. There is not an Audi honey close (20 miles abroad) just there is a VW dealer (ane mile) near me and then I phone call them to cheque on parts every once and a while. The guys at the parts counter dear it that I get some Audi stuff from them. They can't order the Audi versions, just many of the VW stuff is the same. They are even able to cross-reference for me to brand sure it'due south right. I concluded upwardly getting several fasteners from VW. I can't think part numbers simply the aforementioned fasteners were $4 cheaper at VW than Audi.

I recently received this flake of information from PNW Avant on how many you should take of each. I'g passing information technology forth to you likewise.

"The iii 12mm should get in the front. These should have rubber washers that fit between the bumper surface and the fastener head. The belly pan should sandwich between the bumper and the chassis. you should have five of the 18 mm. 3 of them go only the front edge of the belly pan, directly into the chassis. The 2 other 18mm go over on the sides near the wheel wells. The last 3 20mm go on the back border. The washers for these should go on the belly pan side, subsequently pushing the fastener through (the washer is meant to agree these fasteners in place, fastened to the belly pan, at all times. Meaning, y'all loosen them, just they should stay with the pan due to the washer. Probably to aid y'all non lose them."

Part numbers:
12mm - ?
18mm - 8D0 805 121
20mm 8D0 805 121B

Funny I had searched ECS but it came up with nix. I did not know it was called a dowel pin though. I searched for bolts, screws, fasteners, etc. Anyhow thanks even if you were semi sarcastic nearly information technology.

I got mad search skillz bro. But seriously though I just searched "belly pan" and those were role of the hits on both sites. Sometimes its just the wording you utilize. And I don't think any audi/vw parts site uses the term skid plate (besides Thor) lol It's hard to get that word out of your head when that is what anybody calls it.
