new to Audi, new to the list

[Dan Cordon]

One more thing to mention.....you may want to check service records for 
when the timing belt was done last. These are interference engines, so 
if that goes, you're damaging lots of parts. Most places sell all the TB 
parts for $150. And if you're near a friendly lister, they may have the 
crank tool you'll need to pull the front balancer. Or Blau rents them if 
you buy the kit from them.
