Part labelled no. 5 in the diagram. Rubber sleeve that slides over the diff lock fork, push fit into the differential casing and a clip to secure it to the fork. p/n 017525075A.

Thanks

Interresting.... 017 525 075 A - Bellow/Faltenbalg, became NLA in March this year (2011)... It's actually used on a 1996 RS2 as the latest model... Wonder what Audi is thinking of...

Since it's only recently gone NLA I have not found references to an alternative on the 'net... Can I suggest you dismount it and bring it to a 4x4 shop, bring a sixpack to the inventory manager, go through his inventory and search for anything that could be used as a replacement ????

i know its not got the 'angle of the dangle' like the audi fork gaiter but might be worth a go? wouldn't be the end of the world if not at a few quid.

After another reads i noticed its for the "actuator" not the locking for itself.

B*******!

ill keep looking
