Incoming Rare Items for your B5 S4/RS4

[RMode]

I have a number of officially discontinued items arriving in the next few days. Everything is first come, first served, and INCLUDES shipping to all 50 states. I have accounts with USPS, Fedex and UPS and so I can also ship internationally as well. Everything is new, not used, and everything is genuine Audi.

1. Airbag harness for the B6 or RS4 steering wheel - $75 shipped

2. Sideskirt Clip Sets - includes both the male and female halves of the clip, to do the job correctly. These often get broken, disintegrate, or just go missing over time. $139 shipped. Compare to ECS, who sells just one half of the clip for $147.40 + tax + shipping!

3. Rear Center Seatbelt Buckle Sets - fits sedan or avant - $68 shipped

4. Rear Trunk Hose with the Elusive Rubber Grommet!!! Said to fit both sedan and avant. $76 each

5. 2 pair of OEM foglamps for the S4 (sedan or avant): $519 per pair, shipped. ETA for these only is end of March.

Lots of other things incoming as well, so I will add to the list accordingly. Items 1-4 are due to arrive to me any day, as they are going through customs in NY.

Some other items coming in:

alarm stickers for rear 3/4 windows

front grille emblem for both 2000 (early style) and 2001+ (late style)

rear trunk emblems for both 2000 (early style) and 2001+ (late style)

RS4 front grilles

Airbag harness is plug and play?

Even badges incoming for some of the older classic cars too!



Replacement genuine alarm stickers (I’m grabbing a pair for myself!)




Trunk hose with the grommet!


I’ll snap further pictures once boxes are in front of me and I get things unpacked. As mentioned, it’s a bunch of different shipments (from different places in the world too, as the hunt is always on for the real deal rare stuff!)

What is the trunk hose? Is that for the rear sunroof drain?

What is the trunk hose? Is that for the rear sunroof drain?

It's what connects to the lock cylinder to open and close the actuator. On the B5's they aren't "power" per say, they are operated via the vacuum pump in the trunk.

OK, lots of people asked me for these

First up, the plastic hardware to secure the rain cowl. This is a 2 piece setup, and there are 5 per cowl. They often go missing, or get stripped (usually because the wrong screwdriver is used). These are officially discontinued.

I am also going to bring in the seemingly impossible to find eccentric bolts! $68 shipped per PAIR, which includes the cam and nut. So a pair of bolts, pair of cams, pair of nuts. Again, this is based on 10 people as paypal/venmo friends and family.

I will handle these orders between now and March 10. From there, arrival would be right around end of March to me, or early April (depends on customs out of Germany and in to me).

For right now, let's take names down, and once we hit 10 for each, we can go from there!

Bears repeating, these are all genuine Audi parts!

BTW, totally fine with it as goods and services too, just kindly add the fee.

Hey random request - but since you appear to have a line on oddball NLA parts, any chance you'd be able to source a new fuse cover decal? The P/N is 8D0010151T I believe. I bought a new fuse panel cover a while back but the decal is honestly pretty essential and I don't feel very confident trying to transfer a 22 year old sticker.

Some of the OEM labels are actually still gettable. This one, sadly, discontinued back in 2013. But, I know a guy :)

Reach out to @reflector_service_minsk on IG. His work is outstanding.

Which rain cowl hardware are you referring to?

The Philips head plastic screws? Those were never meant to come out of the cowl?

[bakedziti]

thanks

If possible, please put me down for a set of cowl hardware, a trunk hose w/grommet, a trunk emblem, and a pair of rear eccentric bolts.

Please also let me know when to pay.

Yes, the plastic philips. It's a 2 piece anchor on the top and bottom of the cowl. They often go missing, or get stripped out because people use the wrong screwdriver/bit, or don't realize it's only a quarter turn to lock the bottom portion into place to secure the cowl.

sure thing. Shoot me a dm!

[RMode]

We hit the required # of people for the cowl hardware - dm if you want to combine them with anything else, or for payment info. I'd like to finalize the order with Germany ASAP as it does take several weeks to arrive between shipping, and customs.

Speaking of, for the items in post 1 (and some other stuff too), 1 box is now at the local distribution hub, so I expect it tomorrow or Saturday. The other 2 are still with customs here in the US. I expect those will take a few extra days to get to me. I don't yet know what items are in what box, but I'll add pics here for whatever gets to me first so people can see first hand the random stuff I can get (for now!)

I'm going to leave the list for the cowl hardware and eccentric bolts (and anything else anyone may need) until end of day Thursday 3/9/23. DM me for payment instructions, or any questions, things you guys need me to check! A few of you had me check stock for some random things, and I can include those items with this next shipment. I am going to update the above list with a $ if payment has been received. Anyone else, just message me (or text if you have my cell) for payment info.

Thanks all!

To set the right expectations for those who picked up multiple items that may come into the country at different times, is it safe to assume all of your items would be shipped together once all of the items arrive? That seems fair to me and far easier for you, but rather than ask this in a PM, I figured it may help alleviate some duplicate questions or misguided assumptions ahead of time.

I'll leave that up to each of you. For the stuff that is on the verge of being with me, if you want me to hold off and send everything together, I can do that, or, I can send what arrives here any day first, then the rest (aka camber bolts/cowl hardware). Whatever is best for you all! A lot of this small stuff I send USPS with tracking. I have an account, so I can do the labels in advance and drop off in bulk, so it's not like I'm standing on line at the post office. For larger things, I have accounts with UPS and Fedex. Both are essentially on my way home from work, so making a quick stop isn't any big deal.

The one box arrived last night, I’ll have pictures posted up. The other boxes haven’t changed status yet.

@boost_starved’s fog lamps - shipping Monday. 2 more incoming sets!




Also, a couple asked me about RS4 fogs. A handful exist for me as well. Shoot me a dm!

[RMode]

Trunk hoses!





Euro headlight leveling switch - I do have an old write up on how to get this to function, but I’ve not yet sourced the wiring!

By the way, for those who want a new steering wheel emblem, let me know!

I finally dug up the receipt from when I got the one on my own car, and in doing some further searching, found the new style logo one too. These work for the stock B5 wheels. If you're using a B6 wheel, or perhaps you want an RS4 one, let me know, as those is available too. They aren't cheap, but, it's at least gettable! They range from $69 to $135 each.

Here is the one on my own car (I took this picture pre-headunit swap). Mine has the small S4 script on it. There is also another version, same size, that does not have the script. Just depends on what you prefer.
