Default Uhh...so anyone care to explain this massive skyrocket in audi parts recently?

Even all the world impex dealers prices have just skyrocketed...i was looking for some parts for my 90Q and the prices were insane!

For example, last year i bought a Cold Start Valve for my 90Q from taylorautomotive.com, for $106, which was a great deal...today the price for that exact same part is $207...and its just not the this part...every part!! WTF??!!?

S4 material - she is running great!

Default are you comparing the prices of Taylorautomotive to Worldimpex?

impex tends to be more expesive because they are genuine parts.

Default Audi recently stopped VW dealers from selling Audi parts...

1stVwparts.com for example now charges +10% for Audi parts.

Places like importec/taylorauto/authohaus all sell OEM parts, but of varying quality. Impex sells Audi branded parts, usually of the highest quality and cost.
