Gearbox Solenoid for Audi Q5: Cast Iron
This gearbox solenoid for the Audi Q5 is specified around cast iron, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or inconsistent hardness between lots. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
