Aparently this part is nowhere to be found on the planet.

At this point I'm starting to get the itch to fire up the soldering iron and see if I can fix her up myself.

Been there. Mine was covered by Audi. It just died on me. The dealer told me that the parts and labor is approx. $1,500.

Default Yes, it is.

Well, I said so as well. Mine was out of warrantee and bitched about it to Audi Customer Relations and the dealer and Audi covered 75% of the cost and I only paid about $300.
