  1. Good question. I hadn’t thought of that, but according to this Audi UK brochure they do seem to be. I’ve definitely seen them on cars here too, just not very often.
  2. Hi I'm interested in getting a set of the 21" S Line Y / 10 spoke wheels for my A6- at least I think that's what they're called, these ones: I think the part number is 4K0601025L, but again I could be wrong on that. However I am really struggling to find a second hand set for sale anywhere. There are plenty of second hand sets of most of the other wheel options for this generation of A6 on the likes of eBay, Gumtree, etc. but not so with these. I also haven't seen that many cars with these wheels on the road. Are they a particularly rare wheel or something? I guess my question is: (1) can anyone recommend any websites to buy second hand OEM wheels that I might not have thought of? (I am based in Ireland, but will look at sites based in UK / EU or anywhere) or (2) failing that, can anyone recommend a good place for replica wheels that might do a version of these? Thank you.
  3. Hi Steve. That’s interesting, good to know. I wonder if there is a laminated version of the privacy glass also for use on that market?
  4. Hi there, Thanks for the reply. It did occur to me that the door might have been changed, but I don’t think that would really explain it because the original (non-tinted) glass still fits in this door, and Audi are saying if the original glass fits then the privacy glass should also fit. I will try to open up the door on the other side to see what if any difference there is with the regulator connecting piece. Re your second question - I just don’t like the look of aftermarket tints. I can’t get past the gap it leaves between the dot matrix around the edges or the way it shows up the heater lines on the rear window, e.g.: I know some places can do it better than others but I’m yet to find somewhere that can actually make it look good (in my opinion), so I was happy enough to spend a bit extra and do it properly (in theory anyway!).
  5. Hi I have quite a strange one that neither my Audi dealer nor glass fitter can figure out. I recently bought a second hand 2019 50 TDI Saloon S Line that came without privacy glass from the factory. I wanted to retrofit privacy glass myself so I ordered all of the parts from Audi - rear window x1, door glass x2 and quarter light glass x 2. I then brought it to a glass fitting specialist recommended by the dealer. They have managed to fit all of the glass except for the rear driver side door, which they are saying they cannot fit. They are telling me that the bracket section within the door into which the glass should bolt (photograph attached below) appears to be a different shape or size on this door than it is on the other door and the new glass won't fit into it properly. They also mentioned that the original glass on this side is laminated, whereas on other side it is isn't (and nor is the privacy glass that I bought from Audi). Audi are just telling me that the parts they supplied are the only tinted/privacy glass that is made for this car and the interior of the door should also be identical on both sides, so they don't understand why it won't fit. The part number for the glass in question is 4K5845206A. I've had a look on some parts diagram websites and can't find any other part numbers for tinted glass for this car. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing the issue or had any experience with retrofitting this glass to these cars before? I may end up just getting that window tinted because at the moment I am driving around with privacy glass all round except for one rear door, which looks a bit odd.. but I would like to sort this out especially since I've paid for the all the glass (which wasn't cheap as you might imagine..) Thank you!
  6. Thanks for the reply. That’s interesting alright, I wouldn’t have considered that being an issue either. Are you planning to take a risk with it and see if it fits?
  7. Hello First post so I hope this is in the correct section. Would anybody know, or know where I might find, the part number for the new grille that comes on the S Line models post-2024 (image below)? I've tried to find it on a number of parts diagram websites but haven't been successful. Thanks very much.
