Leather interior

[Markrogers 2402]

Hi, I'm new to the owners club and I'm looking for some help, I have a A4 Avant B5 on 1999 year, I'm looking for a leather interior including door panels, it needs to be manual as I don't think the electrics are there for the electric seats! I love this car and have spent a few thousand on it! It really benefit from a new interior! 

Anyone got any ideas or know where to look other eBay, gumtree and local Facebook selling pages 

many thanks

Hi Steve, I'm looking for black if possible but I'm fairly flexible on it! Thanks for the welcome, I don't know why but I've had this car for nearly 5 years and she was in poor mechanical shape! The guy that sold it to me was a liar telling me he'd done things like the cam belt etc, he said he'd forgotten the V5 but would send it straight away, it took 3 months to get a new one from dvla! I have basically replaced everything underneath apart from the exhaust but I'll be going stainless on that one! She's covered 224k and drives lovely, I'm planning on keeping her forever lol 

many thanks mate

Il keep an eye out for you! :) 

unfortunately there are some real scumbags out there! Glad you've got the problems ironed out now though :) 

Its not a bad thing wanting to keep it for ever and I'm guessing by the mileage it's a diesel. The 1.9 and 2.5tdi engines were 2 of the best vag engines ever produced and as long as they're looked after they'll run and run and run! 

My a6 has the 2.5tdi engine and it's covered 321,300 miles so far! That's on the original engine and gearbox! Second turbo though. Original was replaced at 3 years old at 75k. I don't intend to get rid of it either as my dad bought it new in 2002 :) 

here's some iv found on eBay

If you can manage the French, there are usually plenty of leather interiors for sale on Leboncoin in France.

This is a search you can use https://www.leboncoin.fr/equipement_auto/offres/languedoc_roussillon/occasions/?th=1&q=interieur pour audi a4 b5&parrot=0

Searches on the site usually turn up quite a few spurious results, so you have to pick through them, but this came up near the top https://www.leboncoin.fr/equipement_auto/1135936718.htm?ca=13_s

That's a good find! :) 

once you've worked out the site

Sems the links don't work once an item is sold.

To make a search, click on "OFFRES" (offers) at the top, put "interieure audi a4 b5" in the search box, choose "Equipment Auto" category, and "Tout la France" for the search area, and go :)

EDIT: Not many left this week! There were at least 4 or 5 complete leather interiors when I posted.
