Colin,
now you have stirred my interest in this matter. My Euro FA 6.02 doesn't
show the p/n. Yet I know for a fact that the head rebuilding shops do
replace the guides when needed. Methinks they have their own supply
chain and Audi doesn't want regular deaalers get involved with such a
high precision, skill and special equipment involved job.
