[A4] estimates for 60k+tb+etc.

[Brandon Rogers]

well if it includes the 02 sensors....the price doens't seem too bad.  I
recently bought them both for the 1.8T (i think the 2.8's have 4) from TPC
at $130 EACH.  ouch.  Haven't even put them in because it looks like such a
pain....

I'm torn on whether it's woth changing out the 02 sensors.  The PM part of
me says do it.  But some people say wait til the ECU throws a code...so I
don't know....
