[s-cars] cigarette lighter part numbers

[Tom Green]

Mike,

I was searching the list archive on a different project when I just  
ran across your old message.  Did you get this resolved satisfactorily?

The two parts are not the same, the connector is different since  
there is less room for the longer 191 part, but without the plastic  
socket
and replacing the connector with insulated spades, it will work in  
the center console.  The rear seat A/C duct runs under the socket.

Actually, I have both lighters on my desk, and you are welcome to the  
part you need, the 4A0 919 305B.  If that works for you, let me know.

My advice is buy an new lighter, though.  The reason is, the lighter  
socket became smaller in 2002, so some sockets for cell phones,
GPS, etc, don't fit well and actually short out the socket or don't  
charge properly  (bad for cell phone just when you need it).   That's  
the
reason I have these good parts.  I replaced with 996-652-101-10-A05  
Cigarette (lighter), which is a Porsche retrofit socket and 996-652-
102-10 lighter  and the Audi 8D0-919-343 expansion (red light  
surround).  You will need 3 insulated spade connectors as with the 191
part since the new lighter plastic connector is too long as well and  
the light is included in the new expansion surround (LED, I presume)
The Audi lighter that goes with this is 4B0-919-305-C-01C (socket and  
lighter), but it costs about 5 bucks more  :-) , and it's identical  
except
for the part # and has to be trimmed as well.  This is because  
Porsche has an update kit for older cars, Audi didn't bother.

Want to stay OEM, you can have mine.  If you decide on new, I recommend:

<http://www.genuinevwaudiparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm? 
siteid=214407> which is Miramar Audi in San Diego

Or, Riverside Audi in NJ:
<http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=215021>

Both are online sales for an authorized dealer, so you get genuine  
parts and the 12 month Audi warranty, and the prices beat my local
dealer by a wide margin even with club discounts, although you have  
to register with Carson Heter at Riverside for the discount.
