3.3TDI- this is D2 right? Is this in UK, lhd import?

Anyway I do not think you can get brand new calipers fro D2, even the ones dealer sell as new will most likely be refurbished/rebuilds.

There are plenty remanufactured calipers on -bay. There are couple of possibilities depending year and brakes on the car.

For a FL quattro car with vented disks these should do:

You could try contacting Brakeparts to see if they can help. I had a quick look but didn't see your car listed but I'm sure the calipers will be the same as other models
