ALTERNATOR PART NUMBER

[WEEGIEDOH]

Hello . Has anyone with an A1 2013 1,6.Sportsback had to order an new alternator. Have a choice of 3 that would fit but told if I had a part number (Couldn't see it) it would be preferable to have that. Thanks.

Welcome Gerry, and thanks for joining. 

We take it you are not investing in a genuine Audi one then! 
You may find your number against the VIN on LLL Parts website. Of course, Audi and TPS would have the answer but… 

What is wrong with yours Gerry that leads you to need a ‘Made in China’ new one? Why not get yours repaired at a localish specialist? 
Where did you intend to get your replacement from? 
Kind regards, 

Gareth.

Hi

My Audi specialist has cocked up two major issues in the last year and the service is shoddy. I have asked them already spoke to them , they don't have the part in stock. So I have decided to go elsewhere.

So have you tried the suggested LLL Parts route? 
‘…don’t have the part in stock…’ - can we take it as what it says? 
They don’t have it in stock, as opposed to they cannot obtain it. 
I does seem rather surprising that Audi can or provide an alternator for an 11 year old model, but…

Kind regards,

Gareth.
