It was TPS that my local mechanic guy got a quote from. I didn't check it, or Audi direct. Maybe the price has rocketed, maybe low stock, maybe something else?

I followed the DIY on here and did it myself rather than send it to someone who might want to take the engine out for it
Irritatingly I broke a rib at New Year (slipped on a wet dance floor) and I'm not really up to wriggling about trying to fix the car at the moment and i'm pretty good friends with a small garage around the corner from work! Technically Citroen Hydraulics Specialists, but very adaptable and decent. 2hrs @£45+vat and I supplied the pipe and had some fluid left from the top up!

I also got them to change the serpentine fan belt a month back and that was only an hour too (I had one from a few months back that i'd been meaning to sawp...)
