No such door exists in my '89 200tq or my '95 S6.  That's a shame.  It
would be nice to have one.

One of my '89s was "modified" by an Audi tech.  He simply hack sawed a hole
in the fairing (belly pan) which allowed oil/filter change without dropping
the fairing.  I was p*ssed when I discovered it but on further
consideration it wasn't all that bad an idea.
