Are the 5k and 4k door handles different? quattro Digest, Vol 147, Issue 14

[Bares, Vittorio]

Thanks Scott and Harrison (I missed the first reply somehow)…

Ok, so looks like these are compatible – and nice to understand the part numbering scheme a bit better.

 I think the answer has been determined, but the last 6 / 7 digits of the part numbers seem the same so I'd think they are.

(44)3 Is Type 44 or Audi 100/200 and the US 5000 chassis
(81) was the 80/90 as we knew the 4000

A clue to different parts is the ending letter (with same part number)
B would be different from C for example brake pads or a part revision

 I'm assuming you mean the outer ones? I took four handles off an 1986 audi 200 which is the same as your 5000. I used two of them on my ur Quattro turbo which is same as your 4000 with no problem at all. The only difference I could see was the metal insert was black on the 200 and bare metal on the ur Quattro. Mk2 Golf handles fit a 4k perfectly If not the inner ones are totally different . Hope that helps
