I have the impression that main dealer mechanics are not what they used to be. These days everything has to be completely replaced. Far from it that a part can be repaired, perish the thought!

edit: the main dealer refuses to use any aftermarket items
if the audi agent is correct about not possible to change the pump alone then there are a good number of A8's which run without one . mine included
if only !

late addition ; asked the previous owner of my A8 [ my nephew ] who fitted the new pump ....an auto electrician ! isn't there one on Karlstadt seeing the car is there ?
