V8 Ignition Parts - Was V8 Owners=Insane?

[Roland Broberg <broberg@cpg.mcw.edu>]

Ben & John,
Since I never throw out anything to do with my Audis, I was able to
locate the invoice for caps & rotors for the V8.  It's a bit dated, now,
10/21/95.  Purchased from Automotive Import 9400 W. National Av, West
Allis, WI (next to Milwaukee) 414-543-7500, Randy.  Anyway here are
numbers and prices that I expect, though there is no telling what prices
are today and what discount you might get.  The shop does some euro
maintenance and is familiar with the V8.

Rotor, Bosch 04214 $34.94 list, 17.48 need 2 and they are the same
Cap, Bosch 03364, Driver side I think, 89.71 list, 44.92
Cap, Bosch 03365, Pass side, 109.51 list, 54.82

The rotors are replacement items as the originals are not supposed to be
removeable.  You have to pry or break them off.  One came off easy the
other didn't.  New rotors require a set screw, not provided.  Caps are
quite alike but pass side has more shielding on it.

I note that I bought front brake pads on the same date, BAP (?)
17-230879, 69.20 list, 46.13. They had sensors, but the connectors had
to be changed over to match mine.  I have non-UFO rotors which I turned
on that date for $10 each.  That was 50K miles ago and the pads still
have > 10mm thick material on them.
