New to the forum - thanks for all of the great information posted here. I just bought an 03 A4 and it's in great shape except for a couple minor interior issues that bug the crap out of me because I'm a bit of a perfectionist. There are two major issues - 1.the driver's door mounted armrest is all scratched up for someone's watch or something (I can't imagine what the watch looks like), and 2. the "+" and "-" buttons on the AC are all worn from what had to be compulsive use on a car with 19k miles. Can anyone give me some direction as to if the A/C buttons are replaceable and the best way to go about replacing the armrest? Thanks for your help.

A/C buttons are not available seperate, buy and a/c control head, as for the armrest, if you have a sedan B5 or B6 its part of the door panel, so you would need a new door panel. Un-less you have a cabriolet?

 

It's a sedan. Well that blows...

 

Man, I'm really surprised with Audi's craftsmanship here. I testdrove a 2002 1.8TQ with 55k miles, and the paint was worn off of all the buttons as well. Even my Ford Contour with 140k miles on it hasn't had this issue.
