Audi A3 8P / A3 Sportback 8PA Radiator Support Core Frame 8P0805588L

Product overview

This is a new radiator support core frame, also known as a front end carrier, in black. It is listed against OE-reference number 8P0805588L for the Audi A3 (8P1) and A3 Sportback (8PA). Body shops and owners typically need one after a frontal impact has cracked or bent the original carrier, or where mounting points have broken away.

Vehicle compatibility

The listing attributes and title name the Audi A3 8P1 and A3 Sportback 8PA, with years listed between approximately 2003 and 2013 and engines including 1.4 TFSI, 1.6, 1.9 TDI, 2.0 FSI, 2.0 TFSI, 2.0 TDI and 3.2 quattro. The fitment table of 162 rows, however, is mostly made up of later A3 8V models (2012–2020), which use a different front structure. Because of this conflict, please treat the 8V entries with caution and confirm fitment by OE-reference number or VIN before ordering.

Key features

• Holds the radiator, condenser and front-end components in position

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Fitting usually requires the bumper, headlights, lock carrier attachments and cooling pack to be removed and transferred. Depending on the vehicle, the air-conditioning system may need to be evacuated and recharged by a licensed technician. We recommend this work be carried out by a panel beater or qualified mechanic. Check headlight alignment and bonnet latch operation afterwards.

Fitment checks before ordering

Front carriers on the A3 differ between generations and in some cases between engine and air-conditioning options. Because the listing data mixes 8P and 8V models, please send us your VIN or the number on your existing carrier before purchasing so we can check compatibility.

Package inclusions
