Thanks Tomscar, I assume you got it at a bargain price.
Did you by any chance check who made the new one? Cheers Ali

Hi Ali, it was a lot less expensive than from my local Audi franchise, just can't put me hands on the invoice to check the price at the minute.Thanks Tomscar, I assume you got it at a bargain price.
Some information from the Skoda parts department which might be of use to you though if you go down this route:
The AK and AL suffix applies to whether it's for the auto or the manual gearbox, the fixing bracket is a different shape for each but the actual pendulum mount (dogbone) is identical in both ... you discard this bracket and use the A2 one anyway, so you can buy whichever is in stock.
The rubber bushing within the Skoda Fabia dogbone has the same numbers and letters moulded onto it as the one it replaced from Audi.
Hopefully that makes sense.
All the best .... Tom

Tomscar, so if it fits BBY it should also fit AUA? Correct?

Hi
if you look back over this thread for the entry from @Tomscar he has posted two helpful pictures showing the part number he fitted to a BBY (which will also fit the earlier AUA you have from your video). You have to swap the mounting bracket supplied with the dog bone with the one you remove from your car

Thank you Tomscar. but it looks like i dont need dog bone any more. I found the source of rattling noise in engine bay. It turns out the bolt holding dog bone is moving and is loose. When i tried to thghten it, it was just turning. Now i know that the bolt thread or captive nut thread is gone. Taking the car to mechanic on thursday, to see what can be done. BTW. same mechanic replaced my clutch 2 weeks ago. And thats when the rattling noise start.
Thanks again

I had the same problem as you - I fixed it by drilling and using a helicoil kit. Problem solved.

i heard about this solution. if this bolt is not taking a lot of pressure from dog bone(rubber), this might be it.
But i think dog bone takes a lot of force form engine movements. Will helicot kit really be strong enough?
One solution crossed my mind. If there is space from top side of assembly carrier, maybe another screw nut can be placed on top of the welded one? Only bolt will have to be longer.
?

That’s an amazing price - can you post a link to it in the spotted > parts section of marketplace?
