On the scrappy one...I'll drop him an email with my arty picture and ask.
How does this pipe fit in ? There appears to be a thread in the hole from what I can see on the picture is there a threaded union on the end of the pipe ?
I am still confused by the part number which whilst looking genuine doesn't show up anywhere.

Also I still have this other spares place coming back to me who quoted £500 and they confirmed they are not sourced from the Ebay chap.
Blimey I'll be glad to finally order this and get my car sorted.
Everyone's input is much appreciated
Cheers

Singh, can you let me know if you aware if TPS will take the order from non-trade as their website says trade only .

I don't doubt that the american place doesn't source parts from the german guy, because the german guy doesn't actuallly make them, he buys from wabco-the manufacturers of genuine audi compressors, but for some reason, none of them would fit-I cant explain why this is, it's almost lile it's done on purpose? Very strange.

No problem using TPS, you should be getting a genuine wabco pump, with everything included that you need-just like you would if I got you one direct from Audi.

The pipe is connected using a push release washer thing-please forgive me for not knowing the correct terminology, but it doesn't simply unscrew, in fact there is now screwing involved (ooh err) lol but if you dont know this-you could be fooled into thinking so and accidently break it trying to wrestle it out. It has the same connections both ends.
