AndyTee Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Hi team I’m in Germany for just a couple of days and wonder if someone can point me in the direction of a supplier for upper and lower control arms, and also lower suspension guide bushes, and transmission mount for our 2014 SQ5. OEM is easy, but wonder if I can get aftermarket anywhere nearby over the next couple of days. Thanks in advance!
Magnet Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Hello Andrew, Thanks for joining. Not sure how many members we have in Germany. Based on information of a couple of decades ago, aftermarket parts availability was restrictive - unlike here in the U.K. - and Australia? Owners were therefore pushed to having to buy parts direct from main dealers. Now…? Sorry for being pessimistic, but your chances of getting leads from here within a couple of days maybe slim. Let’s hope I’m wrong. Can we take it you have searched eBay - ? Perhaps you could let us know. Kind regards, Gareth. 1
AndyTee Posted August 8 Author Posted August 8 G’day Gareth Thanks for your reply. After speaking initially to an auto shop locally here in Wiesbaden, and then a supplier out of the US, I was able to uncover a trove of parts and subsequently ordered and have had shipped what I require. As I now understand it, there are numerous suppliers of the OE stuff to the likes of Audi, and these parts are also available ‘unbranded’ in the aftermarket space (at a fraction of the price etc). Shout out to the guys at FCP Euro who were able to assist with part number IDs etc, and the also the team here; https://www.autoteiledirekt.de Assuming my package now arrives on schedule (for about 20EUR), I’ll be a happy man. Thanks again for getting back to me. Please do now consider my ‘query’ resolved. Have a great day. 🙂 A
