Need Hydraulic Pressure Accumulator for Coupe Q

[Ben Swann]

Can a 200 or 5000 pressure  accumulator (bomb) be readily interchanged with the Coupe
Quattro unit?

I believe I had/have a blockage in the screen going into the check valve.  Indications
were that the pump was going south, I swapped out with known good used pump and had some
improvement.   Got a lot of crappy fluid out - had metal like particles in suspension.
 
I now have some assist with engine running.   Still the brake light goes on with hard
braking and assist not 100% but OK for now.
 
Pedal now goes hard after shutoff, so  looks like the bomb is depleted too.  
 
I think the problem will clear after bomb is replaced and new fluid run through the
system.
