I pulled some codes last week after my cel came on and narrowed it down to 3 things. A vacuum leak, intake leak, or a bad air valve solenoid. After changing vac lines yesterday I found that the air valve solenoid bank #1 was broken where the hose connects to the plastic inlet. I put some silicone on it to try and stop the leak. Any the part is a little box about the size if a quarter. I was reading some old threads and some body said that it was like $25 for a new one. I went to the dealer this morning and turns out its $118. What a rip. Im going to look around for it online. If anyone has suggestions of where to get one let me know. 2001 A4 2.8QM.
Heres a pic. Its the little box.

 

did u try ecstuning? did u get a part number from the stealership?

 

The stealership will not give me the part #. Is it located on the part?

 

WHAT!@!!, the dealership won't give you the part #???? go somewhere else

 

Call ECSTUNING

1-800-924-5172
1-330-825-0826

discribe the part and give them your VIN

 

I called ECS Tuning and they said they do not carry the part.

 

why don't you try ecartoys or that get cool parts site?

 

Almost all part numbers are intergrated into the part (stamped on, raised letters, stickers). Copy the numbers down on the part and try searching for them on here and audiworld.

After looking at your pic, the part number should be one of the three lines of text under the audi & vw symbols.

 

dealers are so rediculous. The same thing happened to my buddy about a month ago but he ended up giving in to the dealership.

 

Never give in to the stealership!!! Everyone needs a George Castanza to accompany them to the stealership.
