Good tip. Autohausaz is a parts supplier I use a lot now a days too and
they seem to be really good.

However, be wary of Meyle because even though they are a German company,
most of their parts for our older Audis are now made in China and can be
pretty sketchy also. Horror stories abound for their C4 chassis heater
cores, strut mounts, etc.

Pick-N-Pull is also your friend!

You're right, only the cheaper handle for the 4K specifies it's Germany. 

I always ask when getting anything, I got burned on a heater core for the
V8Q too, at a glance it was obviously a very cheap brass unit with fins
suitable for tropical climates only.  Luckily I didn't risk installing
it.  Wasn't even worth return shipping for the price, I'll make an oil or
transmission cooler out of it one of these days.  
A phone call or e-mail when buying to check provenance is always a good
idea, especially when there's no illustration available.
