Interesting ad on the German Ebay site for a bunch of
new Audi 01E transaxles, including some with pretty good gear ratios. I have added these trans codes to the gear ratio spreadsheet which I have attached (also posted in the articles section of the forum).
Here's the link:

Running the ad through Google's German-English interpreter yields the following:

Given that there are several transmissions for sale, I think this may be a Dutch auction although I am unclear on who gets first dibs on these boxes; perhaps one of our board members who speaks German fluently can help.
And speaking of first dibs, ( [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )rather than keep this quiet and try to snipe a good box at the end of the auction, I felt it would be best to let our little community know about this auction in the hopes that maybe as a group we can work out some sort of a deal with the seller and arrange for shipping to the US in mass to keep costs down (assuming most of the demand for these boxes is here in the US and not in Europe). Should we be able to work out something for a favorable price I would like to buy one of the APN, APP, 4U or 5U boxes.
