Plus any gasket or seals

I literally lol'd when I read this. I don't have any issues and have been under warranty which expires soon so I haven't really looked deep into this as far as parts list and costs go. What I do know is every stinkin' time this topic comes up I see ballpark prices that go up and up and up. Having not looked into it too seriously my first thought was that these parts were all made of unobtanium and getting harder to source by the day. My second thought was that this was an internet tall tale that was growing by the week and now that someone posts part numbers with prices I'm left to believe that it was the latter of the two. No more restless nights for me hoping that I get the CEL for this issue before the warranty is up because $500 isn't that bad. I mean, it's not pocket change but it's still a far cry from waking up one morning w/o a car and realizing you're out $2k+ as some here would have you believe.

There are 2 prices, dealer prices which equel out to be about 1500 to 2000 and the other is you source your own parts and do the work yourself for about 600 plain and simple!

ah, go it. that's not bad anyway

SECOND UPDATE 10/20/2010 I got everything replaced under warranty. The dealer was not easy to deal with, but after all I could not be happier I got everything fixed. And above all the tech found the missing piece. Thanks again to all for the info you guys gave me, special thanks to vannyhuj for his emails.

I really think everyone should have the cam follower checked EVEN IF NOTHING SEEMS WRONG. That was my case, the car was driving perfect and look at that:

wow must be nice down in Louisiana.

Shiro1745 - what do you pay for labor in NJ from a non-dealer? ive been to several over the years, curious to what you pay.

**Audi_509** · 01-02-2011 06:34 PM

The price you are referring to ($800-1,100) involves replacing the hpfp and cam along with follower. You just replaced the follower and hpfp seal.

My car has been to the same audi dealer since I got it. They charge $135/hr

**thenofjboy** · 01-03-2011 06:33 AM

^ booo dealers. The one I got my car from charges $115/hr

I plan on doing my own oil changes but I called around 2 Audi dealers for quotes just for fun. One place charges $150 & the other charges $75. Both of them are obv using synthetic but I was surprised by the price difference…

**shiro1745** · 01-03-2011 07:46 AM

I hate my dealer cause they charge so much for parts I want to order and they won;t shipe them to me. Do you guys know a dealer in jersey that ship the parts to you? I always have to drive 40 miles when I need a f##$ing screw or something.

if you don't mind waiting for shipping... why not order from genuineaudiparts.com...

**ataylor** · 01-03-2011 10:49 AM

same thing happened to me, and i got the same result after fighting with the dealer about my chip for 3 months

new hpfp, new cam, everything covered

nice going!

**Koby** · 01-03-2011 11:30 AM

shiro, what dealer did you work with?

**brownishwater** · 01-03-2011 12:50 PM

You can order any part the dealer can.

I don't mind waiting at all. It seems I cannot find things easy enough on that website or maybe it's just me. I would love to find a good website for parts. For example I'm trying to buy the N80 valve when I put this part number 06E 906 517 A found in this thread

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-when-in-D-etc

this is what I get. Is this the right part?

Emission system Egr system Solenoid valve A3

X2 - I dont go to the dealer for anything, for obvious reasons. The last time I went there was to get some G12 coolant for my B5 because i needed ASAP

I like ECS cause they have things pretty good organized but their shipping it's ridiculous. (at least $12 for the smallest thing there - except the free shipping items)

Thanks all for the responses. I'll buy from ECS I guess

**thenofjboy** · 01-03-2011 01:54 PM

the shipping will go up obv but just buy a couple things instead of just buying one & dealing w/shipping for that one item. haha thats what I ususally do.
Here is an example, these are pretty damn sweet
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B7_A4-...ort/ES2070639/

one more place for ya to get parts from -
http://www.worldimpex.com/parts/genu...ve_245916.html

anyways - where in NJ are you?

I realized that if you buy a free shipping item you get the free shipping for the second one you buy, even if it has no free shipping. Probably if they're close in size.

I'm all the way down in Cape May

I just talked to somebody at ECS they said that part is for VW 2.0T it would not work with our cars. I'm a bit confused now. I wonder if that's the right part number. They said they DO NOT have the part for our cars.

**JPT** · 01-03-2011 06:16 PM

Get the part number from the dealer, then call ECS or search that part number on genuineaudiparts.com Those two sites seem to have everything.
