Part interchangablility

[vtracer20]

Hey i got a friend that bought a semi crashed 98 2.8 a4 and he wants to repair it and wants to know if he can buy used parts for any b5 a4 between 95 and 2001 if those parts are interchangeable....or if you could tell me what year models are interchangeable for the 98 model. Thanks

The only things that are really different AFAIK are the engine components from 96-98.5, and then from 98.5-01.... As fas as suspension and drivetrain it will all copy over except the spindles/wheel bearing/axles in the front, because at some point in 98 they switched to a bigger wheel bearing.

Body panels are all going to switch over, he could even get s4 body parts. The newer headlights/tails look a lot better than 98's.

What parts does he need?

you should be able to grab those off of any year B5 A4. The hoods newer than 99.5 wont have the spray nozzles on the hood, i think that's the only difference...

A&P has all of that except for the front bumper. I will check the shop.

The only thing you need to be careful of is the doors. The doors changed with the facelift (99.5+) cars. The moldings (body side moldings, knee height) changed. It would look really weird if you didn't have all of them matching.

Right on. Pre 99.5 has smaller trim. We have the parts he requested in the small trim.

Cheap parts

I know you know what you're talking about, I just wanted to put it out there for the people that are reading but not the OP.
