At Audi prices the filter is about 40 quid, gasket £25, fluid is £12.50 a litre and Etka quotes 9.8 litres to fill so £190 in parts at Audi prices.
I know I looked at buying from ZF direct and it would've saved me a small amount, but I suspect a main agent will be making a profit still at half the Audi prices - after all the parts are made by ZF and then stuck in an Audi packet so there's probably a 40% markup in there just for that.
If you buy fluid in massive drums the cost per litre drops substantially as well.
Not paying the South East tax will also be a factor and Mackeys have the sucky-blowy-pumpy thing so it's probably not even very labour intensive until you have to run it through the gears and top up the last bit.
