A paper gasket to seal your transmission pan. Or if you can get the quattro club discount, it's $55. Yes, $55 for the green thing in the picture. I couldn't do it.....hopefully Tozo will have one in the shop.

Default I think you meant the "stealer". Do they really have that much overhead to jusify...

or is the quality that good?

Default lol ..... Don't feel bad ....

I went to Audi of Princeton to get an oil filter. After waiting for the guy (long time), he asks me car, model type, engine. Then he asks V8? I felt like saying, "No, it's the 2.0T". So anyway he tells me its $36 and a special order. I asked him why an oil filter for a 4.2 is a special order. Dealer parts guy says, "Because we don't sell them anymore. You should be glad that thing is still on the road. Did you drive it here?"

I turned around and just left.

Default Your dealer is running a pricing matrix....

$54.67 is MSRP, so they matrix the price up to $70 and your discount brings it back down.

Default I bet he mis-heard A8 and asked you "V8?" as in "Do you drive and Audi V8?"

Hence the statement ... "it's too old, and you should die."

I don't have any, but I've ordered a few today. The price was very reasonable
