Default What should I do?

So it's looking like I've got both a bad MAF sensor and a bad Ignition Control Module. Both occuring within 1 week of each other.

Total cost of both pieces will be over $300, actually close to $400 and then I'm still going to need to take it somewhere to have the codes reset @ probably another $75.

This is far too much money at one time for me so I was looking on rockauto and it looks like I could get both parts for just over $200- but they are obviously off brands of unknown quality.

Does anyone know of a cheaper place to get these parts or what would you do if you were in my shoes? I'm thinking about going for used parts so that i can save up over a longer time to buy new ones eventually.

you shouldnt own a audi if thats an issue you can go on the forum and see if you can find someone parting out the car.

Unlike you I didn't have mommy and daddy hand me everything all my life, I had to work for it. You don't have the maturity level to be commenting on my thread little boy. Go away.

How long have you owned the car? $400 every other month is about avg. for me! No joke this month I'm about up to $600 not to include a stuttering issue I haven't tracked down

I'm surprised the thing runs with a bad ICM, mine wouldn't.
