I was doing a bit of preventative maintenence on my 2.7T. I replaced my DV's with 710n's just to keep on top of the more common problems I then decided to replace my TBB. I had this priced at £9.89 by Audi here in the south of the U.K. I thought that was a fair price so I ordered the vacuum hoses and clips that that connect up to the Dv's. Theres a short S shaped hose on the left Dv then a longer maybe 6 inch straight hose going to the right Dv from the T connecter.

My favour is prices for these two hoses over there in the states.
I was charged £9.65 for the small S shap hose part number 078145742AT and for the straight hose part number 06A145718H I was charged an outragous £30.41.
I couldn't return these parts as they were special order. I know I should have asked for prices but how much can you pay for two small pieces of hose.
At the current exchange rate the two hoses would cost over $75.00 in US dollers
I'de appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thanks

Oddly enough, you may have gotten a pretty good deal!

Does seem very high for those parts, though.
