audi999 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've tried to google this. Can anyone please advise where I can find the vin plate/colour code on my 2017 A4 Avant? I've looked under the spare wheel. Do I have to remove the internal trim around the battery? I'd be grateful for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the spare wheel and had a quick look. I'll have to remove some internal trim to have a proper look, so I'll try that later.

Steve Q Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If the sticker is t there then if you're car came with a paper service book then there should be a sticker on the inside front cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hello John, What paint do you want to buy? Touch up, aerosol? If all else fails, then nip it into any main dealer, and there should be enough recentish experience there to identify the colour by name. Getting the code will then be easy. Alternative - you are likely to find the same colour of the same year on an odd car at Tesco’s - or Waitrose if that way inclined! Quite likely the owner can help you. You could also ask at a trusted local bodyshop - there will certainly be experience there. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
