Selecting and Buying Car Parts for Audi
Designed to ensure premium quality and high precision, Audi spare parts are made with advanced materials and the latest innovations. Every car owner eventually becomes familiar with their car’s maintenance schedule and needs. If it’s time to freshen up your car, you can find a wide range of suitable spares in the aftermarket or genuine Audi parts catalogue.
Types of car parts for Audi: OEM vs genuine vs aftermarket
OEM Audi parts are manufactured by a company that supplies parts directly to the Audi production lines, which are designed to match the exact requirements of the model. In a genuine Audi part catalogue, you’ll find the same parts but the main difference is that they feature the car maker’s logo and packaging instead of that of the parts manufacturer.
In some cases, you are paying more just for the branding. If you want to save more money, you can also search for OE-quality aftermarket parts. Some car owners avoid the aftermarket as they fear that the parts won’t be compatible or last as long. Nowadays, however, you can easily find trusted brands that offer Audi spare parts that are just as good as the originals.
Advantages and disadvantages
For a simple comparison of the pros and cons of each type of spare part, see the table below.
OEM | Genuine | Aftermarket | |
---|---|---|---|
Price | Less expensive | Typically pricier | Affordable |
Quality | Same as genuine | Same as OEM | May vary |
Warranty | May vary | Usually covered by Audi | May vary |
Availability | Available from multiple retailers | Mainly available at dealerships | Available from multiple retailers |
Compatibility | Designed for Audi model and other cars | Exclusively designed for Audi models | Can be installed on similar vehicles |
When to replace car parts for an Audi
The replacement interval for Audi car parts will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the type of part, how old the car is, and the conditions and climate it is driven in.
Reasons for replacements:
- Ageing and wear – as parts age, they become less effective
- Damage resulting from an accident or collision
- Performance issues – if the Audi parts have gone bad, you may notice a decrease in the overall performance
- Routine maintenance – some parts require regular servicing to ensure smooth operation, i.e. the engine oil filter, car light bulbs, wiper blades
- Manufacturer recalls – occasionally, Audi has to recall certain parts as a result of production defects that may pose a safety risk
- Tuning – perhaps it is time to upgrade the infotainment system or give your car a brand new customised look. There are many parts and accessories that allow you to alter the performance or aesthetics of the vehicle
Your Audi’s maintenance costs will vary depending on the model, what needs to be done to the car, and who does the work. Some components are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and can be replaced at an authorised Audi dealership.
Parts for Audi that need regular replacement
Some Audi parts are consumables, meaning that they need to be replaced regularly, e.g, the engine oil filter and cabin filter. Meanwhile, others may last as long as the car’s entire service life, such as the fuel tank or axles.
Part | Expected lifespan | Signs of failure |
---|---|---|
Oil filter | 10,000 miles or 1 year | Reduced engine performance and increased wear |
Brake pads | 30,000 to 70,000 miles | Squealing noises, reduced braking performance, pulling to one side |
Air filter | 15,000-45,000 miles | Reduced fuel efficiency, decreased horsepower, misfires |
Spark plugs | 30,000 miles (some parts last 100,000+ miles) | Poor acceleration, power losses, misfires, hard starts. |
Timing belt | 50,000-100,000 miles | Engine noises, starting issues, splitting or cracking |
Fuel filter | 50,000+ miles | Hard starting, misfires, rough idling |
Battery | 3-5 years | Slow start, electrical malfunctions |
Tyres | 20,000-50,000 miles | Reduced grip, visible wear |

How to choose car parts for an Audi
We have already mentioned the types of Audi spare parts that are on the market, but there are a number of factors to consider when purchasing new or used products, including the manufacturer’s reputation, the materials used, and which vehicles they are appropriate for.
- Customer reviews – reading through independent consumer and expert reviews will give you an idea of the quality and characteristics of the parts. There are a number of online sources for this, such as specialised review sites and car forums.
- Material quality – some parts have to be made with extra durable materials due to performance requirements and operating conditions. Make sure to do a bit of research beforehand. For example, sometimes there are Audi recalls or frequently reported weak spots which indicate that certain factory parts may not perform as well as others.
- Brand reputation – it is important to choose trusted brands and retailers to avoid shoddy parts and counterfeit products. You can determine whether they are genuine Audi car parts by examining the product and packaging, as well as the website or supplier you buy them from. Look for the telltale hologram sticker and product’s serial number.
- Compatibility – to reduce the risk of choosing an incompatible part, search using vehicle-specific data such as your VIN or the OE part number for more accurate results.
Rules for choosing aftermarket parts if the OEM part is not available
When choosing Audi spare parts, you may not always be able to find affordable OEM solutions. A genuine Audi parts catalogue should contain a list of the OEM part numbers in the product descriptions that allows you to find the right ones. However, the most cost-effective products are often aftermarket parts that meet the OE requirements and specifications.
What to look for:
- Dimensions – you need to know whether the dimensions match those of the original part as it may not fit properly otherwise.
- Technical features/specifications – e.g., does the headlight come with a built-in electric levelling motor? What type of bulbs does the car need? You’ll need to consider whether the parts have all the necessary or desired functions.
- One piece or kit – are the parts sold separately or do they come as a set? For example, brake pads are usually sold in pairs because you replace all the pads on the same axle at the same time.
- Product design – for example, oil and air filters can come in a variety of shapes with different types of filter elements. The shape should be the same as the original part to guarantee a close fit.
- Manufacturer’s – it is best not to assume that the part’s warranty is the same as it is for the original Audi part. Check the product description or manufacturer’s website.
Using the Audi part finder
Searching for Audi parts just got a lot easier thanks to the user-friendly part finder tool on our website. It has a vehicle selection feature that allows you to select the make, model, year and engine size from the dropdown menu. This information can easily be found in the vehicle’s documents. You can then select the part via the online catalogue.
Alternatively, you can complete an Audi part number search by entering the Audi OE part numbers into the search bar. This will bring up results that match the specifications of the original part and therefore your car. You can also use the online contact form to request a compatibility check for a part if you want to double check that it will fit.
How much are Audi car parts?
Prices for Audi car parts vary depending on the vehicle’s model and year of manufacture as well as the type of part you’re looking for.
Examples of price ranges:
- Clutch kit – for luxury cars, the average cost of a professional clutch replacement in the UK is about £500 to £900. You’re looking to pay roughly £700 for your Audi. Online clutch kit prices range from £135 to over £450.
- Brake pads – aftermarket brake pads can cost as little as £12, while the OEM Audi parts typically cost £40 and above.
- Brake discs – online prices for the discs range from £15 to over £65.

Are Audi parts expensive?

However, the costs of repairs will vary depending on the complexity and availability of parts, the vehicle model and year of manufacture, and the frequency of maintenance.
