why not ask the Audi agent for a price to fit your own pump and if the price is sensible buy one and supply it to them ?

I had the printout with me of the pump that ainarssems linked in a previous post. But the Audi agent said that was not possible, it was either the full pump unit or nothing.
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!
