I agree.  After looking up the part numbers at an aftermarket supplier
and rebuilder, the UrS4 using 134a from middle '93 onward and all S6's
use the same compressor as the '94-'97 A6.  As Ti said, the Audi 80 uses
an altogether different compressor.

This place has been very good on remanufactured units, and when they 
have them new units at a very good price.
