He ain't kidding. In my experience, he 100/200/v8 from 89-94, and the 100
(and probably A6) from 94-on. And I've read reports of the 80/90 and
others.
As I write this I have one sitting in my car to replace the one in the
200 20V TQA #3, and I bet my "new" '90 V8 will need one.
Word to the wise: get the Audi OEM one, not an after market one.
