They said that since I did not order the parts through them that they would be unable to install them. Looks like I won't be going out there anymore.

And this is apparently a 4 or 5 hour job, which you would think would be easy $$ for them...

They won't do any installs or even repairs involving aftermarket components. They wouldn't even do my strut mounts and bearings because I had Konis.

I just got off the phone with the shop I bought the car from. They deal exclusively in luxury imports (lots of Beamers, Mercedes, as well as Audis). Their service department manager/chief mechanic has an engineering degree and managed the local Mercedes dealership's service department for 15 years. They said they would have absolutely no problem doing it, so I made an appointment for next Monday morning. Thanks again very much for the offer, though!

I don't mind helping.... I did my timing belt, suspension, etc.. on my TT and I have done numerous engine swaps and basic restos on early watercooled volkswagens (mainly sciroccos)... I have most of the tools needed for the job and I have a friend who lets me access his shop if I need a lift...
