That is correct, Eugene. The later cars with EDL don't have it.
In the early cars the valve is located near the rear axle, on the left
hadn side.
In ETKA USA:
A6Q     95      6       11      611-30
(6)     443-614-151-J   Brake Pressure Regulator

It senses when there are passengers in the back seat, coz if there are
none the rear is light and the tail-out is possible. So it biases about
90% of the brake pressure forward. Not good if you want to bleed the
rear.
