Find an independant repair facility. Ask used car dealers where to have
repairs if you buy an audi from them. I found one this way after the
dealer gave me an estimate of $875. for the job. I ended up paying $310.
which also included valve cover gaskets and spark plugs. Its less than
a two hour job for an experienced mechanic. Look hard for an experienced
audi mechanic. They are out there.
