Potentially useful info. Be wary of the suffix letter. It could be a superseded part or it could be a completely different part. Never assume that a part with the same reference but a different suffix is interchangeable. Check the pic of the N75 in the FAQ for a good example.

I click on the parts diagram in my ETKA then double click the part number and if the number has been superseded it comes up automatically. I'm using ETKA 7.4 with latest updates and price files just wish the VIN search would work.

Yup, that's the only way to be sure. Are you able to generate service action sheets with yours? Like for the 20k miles service? I used to be able to then one day I couldn't any more.

No, there's a way of doing it without it going online. I used to manage, but last time I tried, I couldn't get it to work.

I just had a look at all German parts site. They don't list the rs6 but do list same generation s6. The part no.s for the lower arm that's supposed to be rs6 only is listed as fitting the s6 as well. Will be ordering a full kit for mine in the near future.
Thanks for putting that up Bilko.

The front lower arms are specific to the rs6 . They have a large washer built in to them . I believe this is because the rs6 has a alloy subframe and will spread the load .

No mate, I had an annoying knock on the front which turned out to be the anti roll bar links. Unfortunately I couldn't find any HD ones so got Lemforder ones from Euro car parts. These Lemforder ones turned out to be genuine Audi ones with the part number ground off cost £8 each. I hate using Euro car parts but no one else had them in stock at the time.

When I'm allowed to drive again and get any problems with the front suspension I will be getting a set of HD arms. I linked someone to this post a few months back and they did buy then afaik.
