Re: Alternator for 2002 D2 S8

Thanks for the replies. I already have the replacement alternator but I need the original Audi part number to double check before I fit it. The VIN is WAUZZZ4D63N001186

Alternator for 2002 D2 S8

So, my replacement alternator has arrived (thanks for the link to the supplier, Mike) but I need to call them with the part number to check it’s the right one before I have it fitted.

Can anyone oblige please?

Thanks, Jim

Re: Visual Headlight Comparison

I recently came across this article https://lazymarcel.com/bringing-back-to ... light-mod/ which I guess is by you?

To clarify, can this kit be fitted to xenon plus lights and does it mean that you can ditch the yellowed internal diffuser?
