It'll fail all together soon and leave you stranded.

You'll need plenty of patients if you do it yourself and if not plenty of trust for somone else to do it right. I ended up in the boot for most the day trying to get it right and there were some horrible words coming out of my mouth.

I'm sure Audi do a seal kit for the pump unit, but it's apparently a throw away unit when you ring for the pump it's self. Why you'd need a seal kit for something you don't take apart i don't know.
