Especially so given changed work circumstances requiring more mileage and I can't really justify a third car in our household of two just for occasional use....

well , great news indeed , even if not unexpected !
but 2.5 litres ? that sounds more like enemy action than poor workmanship !!! surprised you could drive it at all !
but frankly it bears out the advice from the experienced members here who say only go to experts in ZF boxes to get this done , not even an audi agent ! I notice that one of our irish based members recently went to scotland to get , as they say where I come from , a proper job
but sell it ? sounds like the sort of think you might regret ; at the end of the day I don't suppose that there is actually a member here who can justify having such a car , I certainly can't
