Default Sound fishy?

I went to the stealership for a problem I was having with my horn. The right side of the horn works fine, but the left only works if you push it in really hard (you can't just tab it with your thumb). The service guy said I needed a new airbag since the horn switch was integrated into the airbag, which is roughly a $1k part according to them. I think this is absolute BS. Would someone confirm one way or the other. thanks, bill

It is being covered under warranty, which pisses me off since that's why everthing is so ridiculously priced in the 1st place. I think the dealer is trying to scam audi for an airbag.
