Audi Quattro parts availablility?

Question

looking for a part called a clock spring and am having trouble finding one for my grand daughters vehicle and it needs to be "triptronic" what ever the heck that means.

Answer 1

Start with your local parts store but I have a hunch that this is a dealer part. You did not state what year the car is, that's important as the dealers are not committed to carry parts for cars more than 7 years old. The good news is that the Germans are usually very good at not leaving you stranded if it's an older model, you can almost always order the part. The triptronic transmissions have paddle shifters on the steering wheel that allow you to shift up or down for yourself if you want to.
