'96 B4 Sedan in Arizona Junkyard, anyone need parts?

[Abacus]

We moved to Prescott Arizona area last march and I finally went to the local U-Pick It a month ago. There was only one white '96 B4 GLX and it was pretty much stripped, but I did manage to get a few pieces off it like the rear ABS sensors and shield mounts.

Yesterday there was a red '96 B4 TDI sedan that arrived and it's complete and unmolested. I grabbed the cluster, front marker lights, and passengers door handle, and today I'm going back for the ECU (GQ). Does anyone need any other parts from it? It's still complete at this point and in decent shape with no rust (I love Arizona). It has a tan interior and sunroof, mileage unknown as I haven't powered up the cluster yet. Keep in mind I won't ship large parts like body panels, seats, or doors, but can pull them if you want to drive to pick them up. Shipping small parts is bad enough. There is also an A4 TDI 5 speed if anyone needs parts.

I am not looking to make this into a business, nor do I want to spend hours pulling parts. I am merely doing this because I know how hard some of the parts are getting to find. There is only 1 B4 sedan (TDI) local to me that I have seen, and it's a POS to the point I haven't wanted to speak to the owner for fear he'll ask me to "help" with it. I am all too familiar with how that works.

Let me know what might be needed and I'll see what I can do. Include your phone number so we can talk and call in real time when I'm there in case the part isn't in good shape. I don't want to pay for something and then get stuck with it because you decided you didn't want it at the last minute.

I'm hoping it's black does it have a good front drivers fender?

I'm hoping it's black do you have a good driver's side front fender?

That’s a long drive for a fender.…

Especially a red one.

I could have used a few things but didn't see this until tonight...#frownyface.

It’s just a few miles from work, so not too far.

 

[Abacus]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, it has the factory CD changer in the trunk (with wiring) and E-codes, although the glass on one is broken.

That's crazy that it has ecodes. I wonder what the yard would want for the pair? That is if the reflector isn't shot on the broken one.

That reminds me of the time I went to Omaha Upull to find two B4's in the same row IIRC, one had the projector lights with the Joey mod with halo rings and unfortunately one of those lenses was broken as well. It was a sad day indeed.

That car also had the uber rare center exhaust cover for the tunnel...haven't seen too many of those!!

[Abacus]

Center exhaust cover? I’m not familiar with it.
The reflector was in good shape, I removed them and put them in the trunk. The lenses should be able to be swapped with our standard lenses.

According to their price list the headlights would normally be $30 each.

I have a set of good e-code lenses (replacing due to broken plastic on the passenger side, driver's side only has condensation). I bought another set to replace, so they were going to end up in the trash anyway. TYC brand though...

Edit: My VR sedan has the tunnel cover. Didn't know they were rare, and I was going to end up pulling it off!

 

[tdidieselbobny]

Does the A4 have the injection pump still? Looking for a decent used one if possible...

Here's the exhaust shield for the tunnel. I'm not exactly sure whether it was on TDI cars or only on VR6 cars. I've never seen one on TDI, but of course it fits. I've only ever seen two of these in all my JY scrounging.

PM me when you have a minute to let me know damages.

Thanks again

Steve

Yes, it’s still there but is a 10mm one due to being a stick.

 

[Phi1osopher]

I don't need anything. I just wanted to say you're awesome.

If you are going there again, I am looking for the climate control piece with the 3 dials. My vent control spins freely. Also the clip that holds the center side of the passenger sun visor. And the clear fuel supply line from the filter to the pump if its in good shape.

 

[Abacus]

Those lines don’t fold and will be expensive to ship.

 

[jdulle]

Ok, maybe just the other two items if you are there.

 

[vixentd]

Are the headlights any good. Also are the drivers and passenger door regulators? vixentd@gmail.com

 

[Abacus]

Sorry, the headlights are spoken for. Not sure about the door regulators as I haven't taken the door cards off or been able to get back to the junkyard yet.

I I have a buddy that lives there and he comes to this side quite frequently

 

[jdulle]

I have found another source for the climate control dials and sun visor clip.

 

[Abacus]

Well, its in good shape.

 

[tbones]

hey Abacus,

Regarding the white one, if still in the pick and pull, how were the body panels...especially left front fender?

Also, did you ever power up the cluster? if still available, I'm looking for on with about 340K on the clock to replace in by 97 sedan.

thanks.
Steve

 

[volksguy]

Hello How about Tan A Piller And Those small inserts that hide the screws.
Would allso like a outside Temperature harness Complete with the Rubber Grommets and Sensor uncut.
WILL PAY $$$$ UP FOR THESE PARTS

The drivers fender is in good shape on the white one.

 

[tbones]

Excellent. That’s the one I’m looking for…

Which outside temp harness?

The A Pillar would cost a bunch to ship, are you sure?

The junkyard changed their hours so I can only go on the occasional Saturday when my wife hasn’t filled my schedule.

 

[Mcgink]

In a VR6, the outside temp sensor lives in the lower grill under the bumper and the harness routes back to the fuse panel through a rubber plug under the master cylinder.
