"Where can I get <name that OEM car part>?"
You can book a flight to Africa, but beware, you'll usually have to connect through western Europe to get there. When you get off the plane, hail a taxi, and have them drive you to Capetown. When you get to Capetown, flag down a pedestrian, and ask for directions to the nearest Audi dealer (they all know where it is, because people come from all over the world to get their OEM Audi parts). Tell the dealer what you need, and they will either have it, or will be able to get it in a few days. While you're waiting, enjoy the sights to see in Capetown. It's a lovely place.
What? You want the same part cheaper? Well, lucky for you, there are dealers that sells parts over the internet. Do a search for <a href="http://www.clairparts.com/">Clairparts</a>, <a href="http://www.e-partssales.com/">Suncoast</a>, or any number of other dealers that have an online presence.
What? You want new OEM or OEM type parts even cheaper? Well, try <a href="http://www.vwparts.com/">http://www.vwparts.com/</a>, or <a href="http://www.europartsdirect.com/">http://www.europartsdirect.com/</a>.
What? You want the same part even cheaper, and you're willing to buy a used part? Well, <a href="http://www.car-part.com">http://www.car-part.com</a> seems to be a popular choice for used audi parts, as does <a href="http://www.dadsauto.com">http://www.dadsauto.com</a> (they specialize in Audi parts).
