Someone posted a couple years ago about starting the banjo bolt back  into
the rack by wrapping a string around the threads near the inner washer  in a
manner so that when you pull on the string, it turns the bolt  righty-tighty
back into the rack.  Then all you need is to get the bolt  into place, put a
little pressure on the head and pull the  string.

Wouldn't the A6 version use O-rings like the V8 and '91  200s?

Tried this a few weeks ago with my 91 200q.  The dental floss does  indeed 
make this a much more manageable job.  But, I put the floss on the  head of the 
bolt rather than the threads.  That way I could tighten as much  as possible 
by just pulling on the floss, and I didn't have to worry about floss  being 
trapped in the threads and possibly causing a drippy drippy leak.
