Some Audi hoses have an internal restrictor which might be needed for the rebuild.  Careful dissection of the old hose should provide both the information and the part.

It worked for about 8 months, and then for a while I had symptoms of not having enough power assist to both brakes and power steering . . . .

We are going to be moving to AZ as soon as we can get organized to leave.    It doesn't have to be the most expensive,  but I would hope to keep it going for a while . . . .
