I'll be posting in buy/sell section too, but was hoping for leads on a used silver hood, and maybe some general advice about aftermarket/oem/used choices from the B5 community.
Especially interested to hear from anyone in or around Columbus Ohio that has parts!

I swear, I wasn't driving, but I do have an A4 that got caught a little to close to the back of an F150 pickup. The hood, radiator support, radiator, fans, etc got mashed. The bumper and skin got off with just a scuff, since it was below the F150's bumper.
This was very low speed, and other than the hood, it looks like everything that is busted or bent is bolt-on.

The patient:
1999.5, A4 1.8T Quattro Automatic,
(one piece headlamps)
AEB engine code
DVT automatic transmission code
330xxx Vin (last 6)
LY7M, Paint code (Aluminum Silver Metallic)

The parts list:
I'm leaning to going used OEM on the big ticket items, but priced what aftermarket I could find at ECStuning.

Quantity description each
1 Silver hood with grill and logo, or just a hood and I'll go with badge-less grill

1 058 121 301 B, viscous fan blade
Meyle - Fan Blade ES#2911 $39.40
The big, belt driven blade, mashed in to radiator, no winners in that battle.

1 058 121 350 , viscous fan clutch
Sachs - Fan Clutch ES#1713 $109.95
Bent beyond repair.

4 Genuine Volkswagen / Audi - Heavy Duty Hex Bolt, Self Locking-(6x14) ES#6893 $0.31
Attaches fan blade to fan clutch, should be replaced every time it's removed, Four per car

1 058 119 145 , viscous fan pulley
Genuine Volkswagen / Audi - Pulley, Fan Clutch ES#6891 $26.91
Pulley behind the big fan and viscous fan clutch. Not noticable bad, but not worth the risk to reuse.

1 Meyle - Cylinder Head Cooling Flange ES#2913 $5.82
Located rear of cylinder head
1 Bilstein - Coolant Sensor Retaining Clip ES#3055 $0.55
1 Victor Reinz - Sealing O-ring ES#2469 $0.99

1 OEM Coolant Temperature Sensor With O-Ring ES#2832 $19.26
Square Blue 4 pin sensor. With square connector.

1 Geba - Water Pump Assembly W/Housing ES#5407 $89.95
Since the engine ran with little or no coolant, so even though it was replaced a few thousand miles ago, I'm thinking it will be smart to do it again. It sqeaks a little if you turn it by hand

1 8D0 959 455 C, electric fan assembly (Valeo)
Vemo - Radiator Electric Fan Assembly ES#1693 $149.95
The fan, the lead wire and motor were all damaged. Considering used OEM for this.

1 8D0 261 401 H, A/C condenser (403 H may be replacement)
Vaico - A/C Condenser ES#1947 $199.95
May go with used for this. Probably can be had for $50.

1 8D0 121 251 M, cooling radiator
Behr - Radiator ES#1690 $194.95
This brand has some bad reviews on one of the Beamer forums, so I'm looking at other options or used OEM.

1 ECS Accessory Belt Kit ES#52, all three belts $33.30

2 Pentosin - Lifetime Antifreeze (G12), Pink In Color, (1.5 Liters) ES#550 $12.13

8 Bosch - Injector O-ring-Priced Each ES#6562 $2.49
Fits upper & lower section of injector

1 Bosch - OEM Air Mass Sensor (MAF) ES#1580 $179.95
Open to other suggestions here. But I'm thinking this is the cause of so many check engine light issues, I'd like to take it out of the trouble-shooting equation.

Thanks to any willing to respond!

 

DUDE Thats a lot of stuff to be replacing... Who is going to be doing the work?

Josh

 

I'll be doing the work, I've already got the broken stuff off, and the engine out. Wanted to get the engine out to make sure nothing was bent or broken that couldn't be seen. If there was frame or tranny damage, this would have been a part-out post!

I wouldn't have even considered doing this, but I did an engine swap last fall due to sludge, so I've been down this road before. (Thank you AudiForum!)

If it was a bunch of body damage, I wouldn't do it either. But the hood is the only body damage, and its bolt-on. I'll have to pay someone to paint the bumper skin, and the hood (if I can't find a clean used silver one).

(Still had the engine lift in my garage that I borrowed from the brother-in-law.)

 

Can't really help you with parts other than to recomend www.shokan.com for the hard to find stuff.

I'm in columbus too. Hit me up if you ever need assistance with anything. I have vag com too

 

Still might end up being a part-out, depending on the prices I get!
