OP, depending on what was broken Id probably go for the cheaper option.

If you knew what had failed we could give you some better advice.

What was Audi thinking when they built the A2?

I really don't know. You can't even go in an highway at the speed limit with a windowpane down without losing hearing

OK I will go for the repair then.

Also: how dangerous it running a car with a broken intercooler?

Broken intercooler creates mustard gas, that will kill you.

I can't believe it's been two years and I've finally found a picture without the DICKS underneath it

That means there is probably a leak somewhere.

Ask if you can try and fix it first, get a flashlight and look for anythibg that could be the source of the leak. Cracks in rubber and shit.

Apply some gap filling epoxy, like 6 bucks at autozone, and see what happens.

Worst case you give it right back to em.

I assume that you would just have to treat it like a pre-intercooler turbo. Essentially, give it more time to cool down before shutting off the car. As long as it isn't actively spraying hot oil over the rest of the car you might be okay.
