Try ebay.de - if you're using Chrome it should translate ok if you don't sprechen sie Deutsch.

Tim, if you do that would be great - £10- £15 is fine - but £40...

They're shockingly expensive for some reason. Best deal I can find is around $50 IN EBAY in the US

I got one a few years ago and never got around to swapping it. I didn't realise it was such a good investment!

I just called Newcastle TPS £33.31. PM me and I'll see if I can help - I'm pretty sure TPS won't post it. I'm keeping mine (if I can find it) as I really should've replaced it ages ago.

Dealer supplied a replacement one for me here in Australia when I bought my Avant (think it cost them about $70 AU). Still haven't got around to installing it. Tried to take the old one off but couldn't get it off and didn't want to force it. Went to my local Audi dealer and technician didn't know how to take it off either.
Anyone know of a good write up on the installation?
