Source for Audi AC parts, other than Audi Dealer

[RELAYER@aol.com]

Hey all,
The AC went out on my '90 90 this week, and the leak is somewhere under the
dash according to the AC shop, and that the Dryer and expansion valve would
need to be replaced.....and then the evaporator may still need to be
replaced.  That sounds believable, BUT he said those are all parts that have
to come from the Audi dealer, which gave him these prices:
Dryer: $250
Expansion Valve: $210
Evap: $868.68!!!!
     I told him that I do want to get it fixed, but I DO NOT want Audi dealer
parts, for obvious reasons. I can at least get a break from Linda and Carlsen
Audi, but i'm sure these parts can be had elsewhere for even less.   SO, who
else can sell me these parts, and preferrably cheap!!!

Of course, this happened 1 week before we are selling the car to my
girlfriend's mom, and we will be leasing an A4 1.8t to replace it most
likely.

THanks a bunch,
