It’s an Audi bro the labor costs more than the car itself. If you are an enthusiast I suggest working in your car yourself it will save you loads especially with an Audi.

Yea bro I own a Volkswagen and I need a new clutch. The clutch. Itself is like 1600 but the labor is like another grand on top lowkey considering doing it myself even though it will be torture

If you don’t have the tools already then doing it yourself can save you money and also get you more tools. Can’t beat that tbh
