There used to be a service company called Dyment Distribution [or
something
similar] that provided TSBs for Audi.  It has been some time since I
used
them, but I have gotten the complete list of TSBs for ALL Audi models
from
them for free ... I think they offered paper copies of the full bulletin
for
a nominal charge, or a microfiche copy of the entire collection for
something
like $10.  I'd recommend that anyone wanting Audi TSBs contact AoA to
see
if
the service is still available ...

They are still around.

I ordered a VW TSB microfiche from them last year (or was it the year
before?).  Price was $15-$25 depending on which years it covered.  They
also carry the complete line of Bentley manuals at regular list prices,
as well as microfiche versions of the factory manuals, which are the
same as the newer Bentleys since they don't seem to write their own
manuals anymore.  At least not for the 1st editions.  The microfiche
manuals vary from $15-$25.

They also list complete wiring diagrams & electrical troubleshooting for
all the cars in spiral bound books for $15-$40, and in microfiche for
$5.  Don't know if the wiring diagrams are any more complete than what
you get in the Bentleys.  I'll have to order one of the microfiche
versions and find out.

Paper copies of the individual TSB's were $4 for the 1st one and $2 each
additional.  Adds up quick.

They also offer a subscription service.  A 1 year subscription costs
$250 for which you get a "starter library consisting of all microfilmed
repair manuals (1980 to present), wiring diagrams (1982 to present),
bulletins (1985 to present), and periodic updates throughout the year."
A renewal subscription was $140 but it didn't list what you got for
that.

These prices were for VW models, but Audi should be similar.  The one
thing they don't sell unfortunately is the parts microfiche.
