Tim noted that a replacement battery is expensive....

The battery on my '90V8Q decided to go south this weekend.  It was very
sudden.  One minute the cars started OK, then it just made the starter
solenoid clatter.  Jumping the car, I was able to start it.  Prestige
Imports gave me a price of $165 for the OEM battery.  The Interstate
Mega-tron is only $99 and I have used them for years with good luck.

According to a service receipt left in the car, the former owner of my '90 
V8Q paid $271 for the battery (and $35 for installation) at the dealer.   Is 
this form of extortion
normal?  Or is there something REALLY special about that genuine Audi 
battery?
