Your best bet to get an Audi part without going thru the dealer is 
AudiOnly in Denver.  peter orders parts direct from Germany, and if 
it's in the Audi part list, he can get it - at a big discount.  Try 
800/962-1902 and wait for him to call you back if he's not in.  He 
has been REAL tied up, so it may be a day or two.
