Mark200 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hi I own a 2021 A3 Edition 1 saloon and I am quite pleased with the car and all of its features. Looking underneath the car the other day I noticed that one of the protection panels are missing and it looks like it was never fitted. Speaking with the local Audi dealer they were not too sure if this should of been fitted or not. They confirmed that in their parts list this had been "Greyed" out which suggest not fitted on UK cars (8Y5 825 217A). Could another A3 8Y owner have a look and confirm if it has been fitted or not to their vehicle. I enclose a photo of the underneath of my car (Viewed from the rear quarter LHS) showing the missing panel along with a picture from the web showing all panels fitted on LHD models also ETKA image and codes. Many Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Looks like a case of cost cutting on RHD cars. Ironic when we probably pay more than those who have LHD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I use an on line service https://ifinterface.com/prcog/car/cp2/inprog.php. click on safe zone then carprog2. Adjust search patten for Audi /model/year. I have already added a space saver to mine as well as jack/handle/toolkit. You can also check out the prices of these items within the ifinterface program, I have found that you need to multiple the advertised price by x1.5. To account for euro to pound and vat etc. Hope this helps. Mark 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've took a few photos of the underside of my 2021 A3 and it looks like the only panels fitted on mine are No1x2 and No4x1 in the diagram... no other panels are fitted..

Mark200 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi, I don't log in or have an account. Try clicking the Car Prog2 link in the left hand panel. Sometimes the program does prompt me to sign in, I just make it reload and try again. I have looked on the site to register but cannot find the link. When you do get this working look at section 0, page 011-100. I think this will list out the items you require. Let me know if you cannot gain access, I will do a copy and paste for you.

Mark200 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi Pronto, When I refitted the spare wheel components for my A3 I found that things like the jack / centre wheel bolt for spare tyre are interchangeable between the models. I was lucky enough to purchase jack/ full tool kit and centre bolt from eBay from one seller, then the actual space saver tyre from another. Picture below is how my A3 spare tyre in the boot looks.
