Can you confirm if this is the part (#27A) from the diagram? It's not ideal as it doesn't show the full run of the pipe, but instead a thin line, but it goes from the highlighted number into the upper pipe on the condenser. If so, unfortunately there is no other part numbers that can be used as an alternative, unless someone out there has found a solution using a part from another VAG car.

Brians first link has a typo, and that pipe is specifically for an A6. The second link is for a different pipe, #17 in this diagram. Unfortunately when you search for one part number, Google likes to suggest other numbers that are close to it!



Regarding Autodoc, I find that any order from them takes roughly two weeks to arrive.

Audi Tradition don't have any, and the only two new ones I can find are both aftermarket. One is $20, in the US, and they don't include or exclude the UK:

The other is in Lithuania and is €163 and is also aftermarket:

If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest you contact Dean, as he seems to have better access to European sites, although you'd be pushing it for the annual meet.
