Time to quit gambling on the 6 1/2 year old battery & change the synthetic Castrol. Oh.... and my light switch is not working on the drivers door. Plus they find a bad CV boot. Me $321, Zurich (my extended warranty carrier) $700.
I go home & start to think about a timing belt. Wait,14% off (Valentine sale)!! All I have to do is make the service writer another valentine, lame but worth the effort.
So 6 hours later I get a timing belt, roller, tensioner, damper, water pump, T-stat & T-stat housing and a loaner car for......... $1578.00.
Maplewood Audi gets kudos for great service work!
And I can continue to drive it like I stole it without worrying I will break the timing belt, woohoo!

I do my own maintenance, but just out of curiosity, do they break down what they charged for labor and parts to replace that switch? If I decided to let the dealer handle it, I'd probably have Carousel do it, because I can walk home and have lunch while it's being worked on.

Seems the switch must be integrated in the latch. They do not price out what my warranty pays, but it was mentioned the latch was 300 bucks alone.

Mine is broken too. I'll get around to it...
