Default Why is my car not listed?

I have an A6 Quattro 2.8 on a 2000 plate, everytime i try to get parts for it they cant find them. This has happened a few times,for the exhaust it has twin boxes a the back they only had it listed as twin pipes on a single box,same with the gasket for the rocker cover. One more thing does anyone know where i can get a cheap regulator for the drivers door,or can i just change the cable?

For window regulator look up Shokan.com or Force5Auto.com. Also you may be able to search on EBay. I came across fairly decent priced regulators in the past...especially as of late.

Concerning the exaust parts, try RockAuto.com:
If by "box" you mean the muffler, then they have what you're looking for.
Left side - BOSAL Part # 279999 - $ 288.79
Right Side - BOSAL Part # 279997 - idem

ATQ engine; for all the other engine codes they don't offer an "Exhaust" parts category.

good luck

If you are having window problems, then the clips are probably bad. 9 out of 10 times, the regulators are fine.

Where are you trying to get parts anyways?

sorry guys i should of made myself a bit clearer i have already bought and had fitted 2 cats.the thing is my car as every extra on it but when it comes to looking for parts there is no 2.8 quattro listed like mine,someone said it is a 2.8 quattro sport is there any chance it could be an early S Line?
as for the windows the drivers side is definately broke the cable is all frayed and snapped,the passenger side was tangled but seams to have rectified itself, can i just change the cable or are they a sealed unit im getting prices from about £85 recon

In 2000 and 2001, the "C5" A6 was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list. This new A6 was available with a wide range of engines and configurations. The 30-valve 2.4 and 2.8 V6 engines represented the bulk of the A6's development programme...

North American C5 A6 models received the 2.8 litre, 30-valve V6 engine, the 2.7 litre "biturbo" V6 (also found in the B5 platform S4), and the 4.2 litre 40-valve V8 petrol engines.
