Sorry to hear about your car man. Have you checked out this place in upstate NY? http://www.shokan.com/.
Maybe you can find a decent price on a motor with low miles.

No idea, even Audi doesn't know how. Their techs looked at it for 2 days and they are stumped. I was on the freeway doing 60 at about 2500 rpm then BAM!!!!! I was actually on my way to Audi have a check engine light checked out

cell said missfires cylinder 1,2,3 and random misfire. The car ran fine and didn't misfire at all all new plugs and coilpacks too, like 2 months old.
