Silly question but why did you have 10  :smug:

It took me ages to work out what you are on about!  :rolleyes:

Anyway, no, I don't have 10.  Don't you watch the BBC2 quiz show called "University Challenge"?  The question master askes the first question, (as a single effort without conferring, to be answered by the buzzer) - and this is reffered to as a "starter question" - and he commonly says sommat like "fingers on buzzers, here is your first starter for ten".  Answered correctly, they get 10 points - hence my attempt at whit!  :tongue:

They are lift pads.

bacillus was correct, though I'd like to know how he new, because none of my local stealers could ever find the part numbers for them!

Anyhow, front:


and rear (and look at all that lovely gloop  :wink:):

TT, sorry to drag up an old thread, but I've just ordered some of these from my local Audi dealer. I thought I would see how the fornt ones fit, but try as I might, I couldn't get the circular(ish) access piece on the undertray off ? It would spin through 360 degrees, but would pop up, and just bent when I tried to lever it off. Were your's that difficult to remove ?

Also, if I can get the part off and the lift pad fitted, can the access panel be refitted with the lift pad still in place ?

Just give it a good tug, it will give in the end.

And no you can't reuse the covers when the pads are in.

Ooops - the part numbers!  You need four of both.

8N0 803 855 - lift pad hard inserts, retail £2.35 each

A starter for 10, who knows what these black round rubbery and nylon bits are?
