Yes, a lot of parts are NLA if you go to Audi and ask for something, especially unprepared without the part number in hand but...
if you know the right people, a lot of parts are still available or we know of parts from other VAG products (and even BMW) that are like for like replacements, it just takes a little bit more effort. We even have a dedicated section where you can request or ask for part numbers.
Dean (Spanker) is very good at sourcing parts and we even have a dedicated forum section for him, where he doesn't need to hide his services like on a8parts forum who sell tradition parts with 2-3x markup but can't make the forums safe and reliable for its loyal members.
