Need Assistance with your Classic Audi? Reach out to me on Instagram @t44brian. No Instagram? Send a message via email, t44brian@gmail.com. I work long shifts and generally overnight hours so please allow me some time to respond to requests.

At this point my stock of parts is limited to what I may need the for cars you see on the website. Currently I do not have parts available for purchase.

I also do not work on vehicles outside of my own fleet. You will need to find a foreign repair shop willing/capable of working on these cars if you’re not mechanically inclined. Many shops decline service on these cars because of parts availability issues and age as they view them as a liability. Well, I can’t blame them because these are temperamental vehicles. In all honestly, these really aren’t hard cars to figure out if you put the time into them. Labor costs can be prohibitive depending on the goals with your current car, so a fair warning that you’ll be better served DIY-ing most things when they break.

Speaking of: If you don’t own Bentley Manuals for your current car, PLEASE PURCHASE A SET. These run anywhere from $50-200 and are MANDATORY to thumb through before any repairs. I will admit – the Bentleys are not always straightforward in their explanations and do gloss over more than a few repairs.

Because of that, I recommend becoming familiar with Scott Mockry’s website SJM Autotechnik as his explanations and photographs are infinitely more useful than what the Bentley provides for certain items. Without SJM I would have never survived the first few years with these cars. As of 2027 the site is still fully functional.

Basic maintenance items (timing belt kits, brakes, filters, etc) for these vehicles are still readily available via usual sources:

  • FCP Euro
  • eEuroparts
  • Parts Geek
  • ECS Tuning
  • Pelican Parts
  • Rock Auto
  • eBay

Certain items have been discontinued for years and are available as OE/aftermarket or re-manufactured only. I would caution being an OEM-only snob when dealing with parts – if you want a running car you will need to use aftermarket offerings more often than not.

Audi Tradition (which is Audi’s own Heritage resource in Germany) does NOT ship to United States addresses. Outside of a couple exceptions, dealers in the US are unable to order via Tradition. The best way to obtain parts is to utilize a third party individual, parts dismantler or reseller in either Canada or Europe that can obtain parts then ship directly to you.

Please also note (as I’ve been asked this in several instances in regard to my trip to the Audi Forum in Ingolstadt): Audi Tradition does not have a public facing parts counter. Unfortunately the Tradition parts department operates separately from the onsite Audi Shop and Tradition gift shop in the Museum Mobile. All ordering of parts must be done online and shipped out.

Self-serve junkyards are now more likely to immediately crush older vehicles but certain yards are still good about throwing them on the lot. Row52.com exclusively inventories PICK-n-PULL locations across the US and Canada, while U-Pull-&-Pay and LKQ have their own websites. Pick-Your-Part franchises are also cleanly operated yards and will usually take multiple photos of vehicles listed so you have a better idea of a car’s arrival condition. If you have the resources or connections to make it work, keeping an eye out on insurance auction sites such as CoPart and IAAI may be a good way to find parts cars. Some independent yards, such as long time favorite Harry’s in PA, have their own inventory system online while other yards get by without an online inventory system and require a call or visit to verify what’s on-yard. From experience, the legwork of building a relationship with an employee at these yards can be worth it as you’ll be the first one to know if an old Audi gets towed in.

If you have part numbers, International eBay might have some great finds. It is recommended to setup these part numbers as saved searches so you can receive push notifications when new items that match are listed. Please note as of 2027 that not all sellers are immediately willing to ship internationally or have stopped US-shipping entirely with current tariff issues. If you need a part from someone outside the US, inquire first what additional charges or steps may be required.

Good luck!
