AUDI CAR PARTS : I can't cite anything, but given the historic connections between VW andPorsche (the original VW, the Beetle, was designed by Ferdinand Porschewho later founded Porsche) and the Porsche business model it is verylikely that many same parts are used in Skodas and Porsches. Rememberthat Skoda is a daughter of VW, and that Porsche makes a great part ofits turnover by building or designing carparts for other companies (esp.Audi, another daughter of VW). There surely is some giving and takingbetween both sides - some Porsche parts in Skodas and some Skoda partsin Porsches. Probably, though, mainly third party parts that are used incars of both companies. ;)Wrong. Porsche is in fact loosely controlled by VW, but not nearly to theextent you are thinking of. Porsche is more like a independent car company inthe fashion of Lamborghini (as is to Audi). I'd venture to say the only Porschethat shares parts with any VW product is the Cayenne to the Toureg (the SUV's).
AUDI CAR PARTS : Volkswagen's Skoda and SEAT divisions as well as WV-badged cars make up VW'slower end of the segment. The other side of the VW empire is Audi and Lambo ofcourse. Porsche develops its own engines, competes in its own racing programs, buildsits own race cars, and has its own dealership network across the world. Audi is hardly a daughter of VW. They share few parts, but it is clear cut thatthey are two different divisions with different ambitions. Of course. I didn't say they were controlled by anybody. But they worktogether with other car manufacturers and they try to reduce costs wherethey can. So, of course they use parts that are used by othermanufacturers, too - they are cheaper because of the higher number theyare produced in and good enough. You don't need to make your own screwsto build a unique car, you know? ;)
AUDI CAR PARTS : And engines for other companies. And other things for other companies.IIRC they even desgin things that have nothing to do with cars for othercompanies or projects. They even build cars and car parts for othercompanies. IIRC the Audi TT was or is built there. Building and sellingtheir own cars is only one part of their business model.Of course - one has to sell the cars according to their image. Andselling Porsches alongsides VWs would not exactly fit into that. ;)I understand that, sure they use VW bolts, clips, other non-Porsche unique carparts, etc on their cars. This is not the point I'm trying to make here. Yes, which has nothing to do with Porsche building its own sports cars.
AUDI CAR PARTS : We are a company based in coventry, United Kingdom, and would beimpressed if you could add a link to our email address, we supply used partsfor all volkswagen and audi motor vehicles, in the UK.Hmm, why do I get the feeling that they're going to getplenty of email in the coming weeks/months/years, butnot from potential customers.Tony, publishing your email address in these groups exposesyou to spammers.

AUDI CAR PARTS : Again - from the dealer. When asking about parts like valves, springs etc:"We don't rebuild cylinder heads because new ones are so cheap"Unfortunately both Audi dealers in the area are "Porsche / Audi" dealers or even add BMW. In any case they don't know how to deal with the do-it-yourselfer. They keep asking what shop I'm from. "Dirk's Precision Auto Repair", I reply. Time to incorperate.The switches have to match the hole - junk yards don't have them. $40 was the power window switch. Seems the VW / Audi / even the Porsche ahve problems with electrical. On the Audi I find the ABS plastic has melted (why I don't know) and the switch is beyond useless (not even heavy enough for a paper weight 8) ). The power mirror switch was $90 - that one I decided to repair - cleaned the contacts and glued the housing back together. Also when going through junk yards (excuss me - "Auto Parts Recycler" ) I pickup any switch I find - I have one for the defog and sun-roof.
