Hi Gareth, that quote is from Audi, rather expensive and not worth putting on a 14yo car. That was frame only. Family member (30yrs+ Mechanic) is doing the work, but finding it hard to find the right subframe, majority are 2013 onwards. Yes, aware of bushes and links, this is another think in the process. The joys of trying to save an old car.

Hi Gareth, I can see where you're coming from with regards to asking for the part number, but it reduces my time in asking lots of questions. Most of the ones I'm being offered are from 2013 onwards which will not fit, this is even after giving them the plate number. Due to my location getting items here is pretty expensive at the best of times, I was quoted £600 for a new frame, which is totally unrealistic for a car this age. Second hand route will do for now, if I don't find one, I will look at your suggestion and pass the info onto my mechanic.

It seems to be, but possible that subframe had issue before I got it. Just need it for a run around until it totally goes, engine runs well, exterior is in good condition, inside is perfect. Just don't want to go spending on a brand new subframe if car will only last a few more years. It's 14, so i'm not expecting it to go on much after this.

I'm just looking just now, but would be grateful for any advice. It's a part number I need as I don't want to order the wrong one. I've been offered on, but it's from a 2014 A3, so don't think this is suitable as there will possibly be a size issue between the models.

Hi, The subframe on my 2010 Audi A3 Hatchback is about to go, car runs well and no other issues with it. I'm looking to get a subframe for it, unfortunately I can't afford brand new, so need to find a decent second hand frame. I can't find the part number on it, so looking to see if anyone knows it. Any help us appreciated, love the car and want to keep it for a few years longer
