I just find they have electric everything, if I have a bump and set off an airbag it senses it, turns off the fuel, unlocks the doors, turns the interior light on and the hazard warnings. It even detects under and oversteer and puts a single brake on to pull it back in!
My gearbox problem was an ECU getting water in it as it has a hydraulic clutch controlled by it, cost the dealer I bought it from £1080 so was a bit of a one off, I hope, all the discs, pads, one new caliper and one spring I got done for £350. Audi wanted more than that just for the front discs.
They really are a great car to drive, mine is 10 yrs old in its defence and has a 12 year internal rust guarantee, and I don't mean perforation, just rust. I get the the services done and stamped by Audi, all other work done by Audi Vag specialists.
Check out some of the Audi forums BTW
