It looks like mine is a Z51, so the z51 is shocks and swaybars?

Service parts you'd mean? Did you mean need? I believe all service items would be the same for all a4's and all the rear differentials.

Anyone know how to read these?


Torch Red 97' LS1 6 Speed~~~~ 32K miles ; ) #3278
2nd owner. 1st owner was my best friends dad. My friend passed at age 39. His dad, my eye doctor and my childrens eye doctor, wanted me to have his pride and joy and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Growing up with my friend, we would always drool over his dads cars. He had several Porsches that I remember. I remember him having an Iroc Z as well. Then he bought the C5. He told me he always wanted a Vette. Once his eye practice took off and he could afford to buy one, he didn't like the current Vettes (C3 - C4) so he went a different route. Porsche 928 Turbos. Once he saw the C5, he sold the last of the Porsches and bought the C5. He told me he had 3 criteria. It had to be Fire Engine Red. It had to have Black Leather Interior, and it HAD to be a 6 Speed. He sold it to me because I was the only friend of his sons that was a gearhead and knew something about cars. He wanted it to go to someone that would love it the way he did since it was his dream car.
It was bone stock when I bought it last year other than flowmast mufflers welded on. Here it is now.

Several of the codes on mine were not on there. I also guess my car had the Z51 suspension??? I thought it was the base package the way it handled.
