I'm glad you didn't fall for that one.

An old trick, don't fall for it. Find a reliable dealer or a friend who is car knowledgeable.

LOL, I'm surprised they didn't tell you your blinker fluid needed to be topped off.

First, check your owners manual for the proper bulb. If you don't have the OM, call a Audi shop and ask.

Second, do NOT use Autozone for parts. They're fine for fluids and filters and they do have decent ratchets, but they have the least knowledgeable parts techs of all the stores I've shopped at.
