That sort of stinks as always wanted to use them to get parts that normally may seem suspicious. Like ECU's and screws etc.

Default Barry and Mark don't care about what you order

I still use them for all OEM Audi parts.

Default They seemed to care when I placed an order.

I called for a spare TBB just in case I got a tear and would have to wait 2-3 weeks for service appointment or I was on a road trip. I have the old L model.

Me: I'd like to order a TBB with the new part #.

Clair: We don't recommend that you chip your car, it will void your warranty.

Me: I'm not chipping my car. I want a spare in case the older model tears. I have heard a lot of people have had tears.

Clair: Only chipped cars have torn the TBB. You're fine if you're not chipped.

Me: I'd still like to order one.

Clair: Please use the website to order.

Default HUH?! I bought 3 TBBs with no problem, I even spoke with one of the reps and he was very helpful...

with the part numbers and in explaining the differences between the old and new clamps.

Strange.

Perhaps AOA has put some strain on Clair over the past couple of months?
