Jouko,

Humble efforts? I doubt whether all the dealers in Oz put together have
that much stock! I'm beginning to doubt if the importer has that sort of
range as well.

As far as I can tell, if your Audi is not a current model,the dealers here
order the service parts when you book the car in. If your car wasnt that
popular, ie Ur-q, V8, 200,S4, RS2 A8, youre lucky if the part is even in
the country. I'm not talking obscure parts here,just normal service parts.

What a pleasure it would be to have a dealer who is an enthusiast &
committed to providing service, like yourself

Happy New Year
