This happened to my wife's 2000 A4 Coupe. I took it to GM and it was about $400 to replace the cable. Glad I took it in because they had to drop the exhaust too. The cable didn't break but it pulled out of one of the molded ends and I'll bet that's a common defect and yours did the same. Good luck. I was relieved it was just a cable.
