How and Where to Find the Trim Codes and Paint Codes for Audi?
Finding the trim and paint codes for your Audi is crucial for ensuring the correct replacement parts and maintaining the vehicle’s original aesthetic. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to locate these codes.
Common Locations for Trim and Paint Codes
1. Spare Tire Wheel Well
- Location: Check inside the spare tire wheel well in the trunk area. Often, a white sticker containing various codes, including both trim and paint codes, is affixed here.
- How to Access: Lift the spare tire cover and look underneath it or within the tire well.
2. Rear Bench Seat
- Location: For some VW and Audi models, the sticker might be placed on the underside of the rear bench seat.
- How to Access: Lift the rear bench seat to check underneath.
3. Service Book
- Location: Another copy of the sticker is typically found towards the front of the service book, which is usually kept in the glovebox.
- How to Access: Open the service book to the first few pages where the sticker should be attached.
Understanding the Sticker Format
Trim Codes
Trim codes are usually shown as a four-digit number, such as LY9K. It is possible to see a two-digit code, like 8E. Both formats are correct and can be used to identify the trim.
Paint Codes
The paint code could be stated with or without the "L" (e.g., LY9K or Y9K both refer to Amalfi White). The paint code is often found in the middle of the sticker and is referred to as the ‘Paint No.’
Steps to Find Audi Trim and Paint Color Codes
1. Inside Luggage Compartment
- Locate the sticker in the spare wheel well or on the spare tire cover. The sticker will typically display both the trim and paint codes.
2. Consult User Manual
- Follow the steps provided in your user manual to locate the paint and trim codes. This manual is often found in the glovebox.
Visit Dealership
- For additional help, visit your local Audi dealership. Provide your vehicle’s registration or VIN number, and the dealer can confirm your color codes from the manufacturer’s database.
Audi Models and Common Locations
- The paint and trim codes for all Audi models such as A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A8, TT, and Allroad are typically located in the car boot, in the spare wheel compartment.
Dealer Assistance
- When to Contact: If you cannot locate the paint or trim code on your vehicle, contact a local Audi dealer’s parts or service department.
- Information Needed: Provide your vehicle’s registration or VIN number.
- Benefit: Dealers can confirm your color codes from the manufacturer’s database.
By following these steps, you can easily find your Audi trim and paint codes, ensuring you get the perfect match for any repairs or customizations. Always confirm the color code on the vehicle before ordering to ensure accuracy. If in doubt, your local dealer can assist with the correct information using your vehicle’s VIN.
