    I'd say an Audi dealer, had to get some myself back when I had the A4 and two of them cost me about €20 if my memory serves me right! Just pull off one of the other caps and give them the part number that's on the inside of it. Probably 8EO..something or other :)

    As above, it will probably be cheaper to buy one in your local dealer than to buy one off ebay by the time the postage etc is taken into account.

    Mig welder is required due to the positioning of the flux capacitor.
    Should just pop into place.

    They do you just have to line it up properly. MIne are the same and just require a bit of patience and matching the back of the cap to the corresponding section of the wheel.

    I'll give it a go so. Watched some youtube videos and they were talking about taking the wheel off. Make any sense?

    Yup, Take the wheel off the car first... Then line up the cap and pop the cap on. :)

    Got it. Tip for anyone doing this: Line up the hole in the alloy cap with the valve on the wheel. It'll snap into place then.
