Used Audi A4 alternators — price guide

Typical price£85–£260vs £350+ main dealer

Audi A4 alternators are typically a 150,000-mile item — but the 2.0 TDI cars often go earlier and the cost from an Audi main dealer (£420–£580 plus fitting) is steep. A used A4 alternator from a verified UK Audi breaker runs £85–£260 depending on the chassis (B7 2005–08, B8 2008–15, B9 2015 on) and the engine code. Send your registration and the network instantly filters to yards holding the right Valeo or Bosch unit for your engine — most include a 30-day mechanical warranty.

Compatible Audi A4 variants (2005–present (B7, B8, B9))

  • Audi A4 1.8 / 2.0 TFSI (B7, B8, B9)
  • Audi A4 2.0 / 3.0 TDI (B7, B8, B9)
  • Audi A4 Avant (B7, B8, B9)
  • Audi A4 Allroad (B8, B9)
  • Audi S4 / RS4 (B7, B8, B9)

The TDI cars use a clutched (overrunning) pulley — replace at the same time on cars over 120,000 miles. The B8 facelift (2012) and B9 use a different bracket layout from the original B8 — quote the engine code, not just the model year.

FAQs about used Audi A4 alternators

How much should I pay for a used Audi A4 alternator?

Most Audi A4 alternators sell for £85–£260 from a UK breaker yard, versus £350+ from a main dealer. Price depends on year, trim and whether the part is colour-matched or pre-painted.

Will a Audi A4 alternator from a different year fit my car?

Fitment usually splits along chassis-code lines (2005–present (B7, B8, B9)). Send your registration below — the system matches your VIN to yards holding the correct unit for your chassis and engine code, so you don't end up with a part that bolts in but doesn't work correctly.

Is there a warranty on a used Audi A4 alternator?

Every verified yard in the network offers a minimum 30-day mechanical warranty on functional parts. Body items (mirrors, lights, panels) are sold as-described with photo evidence before you pay.

How fast can I get a used Audi A4 alternator delivered?

Most quotes land within a few hours and parts ship the same or next working day. UK delivery on a tracked courier is typically 24–72 hours; nearest-yard collection is usually available within a 30-mile radius.
