    excellent price compared to Calif ...
    dealer gave me a 1800 price ...

    this Audi inspection thing is ?? very strange =
    if they find your TB in bad shape ( or even good shape and state it's need replacing) they require you to replace it to get the up to 105k (however many years it takes ) warranty ...
    i had mine inspected at Audi dealer and was told TB had excessive wear and it needs to be replaced = no warranty to 105k till it is fixed ... also because they said that in writing my 3rd party warranty will not cover the TB if it breaks because i was warned about it's condition ... so i had it replaced today at a non dealer (34k on TT) - i have to say ( & the mechanics) the old TB IS in excellent condition -you can still read all the writing on the back of the TB ..ribs are excellent .. had the water thing and other belt replaced too .. i was planning to replace TB it in 2010 but now i'm good till how long it takes me to get to 105k ...

    i recommend those with low milage that go to a Audi dealer to get a 2nd opinion .. which then might lead to getting a 3rd opinion if the 1st 2 don't agree ???
