if you find a friendly dealer you can get them from the factory cheaper than that... apparently they're not supposed to sell them to the public though...

From an inside Audi source who shall rename nameless

By law, tools have to be available to any one who wants them (as does tech. info etc) but VAG have changed there internal rules and now forbid dealers from selling tools. All tool orders and tech. queries must be forwarded to VAG UK. They are dead serious about it as well. I got caught selling some timing tools to the trade and had the head of volkswagen tools and literature threatening to revoke our dealer contract

Strange as I just bought a crank locking tool from Audi in Germany.
