  Looks like it might work if it is a 134A compressor.   I own one of  
the compressors being sold by this guy on ebay but I haven't gotten  
around to the installation yet.   His crossover info is in the ad.  HTH  
and not just adds confusion.  Hancock had quoted me something over $500  
and the other online sites were over $600.   The icoolu guy on ebay is  
Rick Hudson.  I was antsy about the compressor and emailed him a couple  
of times, but all seems ok.  I specified the URS4 dryer since most  
suppliers try to send the A6 dryer  for the S6 and the connections are  
too wide-spread.  He has an A/C business in Texas somewhere and bought  
my compressor from <www.ranshu.com> for $251 shipped to me, so that is  
a reasonable markup assuming he knows what he is doing.  Although the  
compressor is marked made in Japan - Omega part DCW-17D, it was ordered  
and invoiced as a Zexel DCW-17B and stock number 14-2950NC for Audi 4A0  
260 805AH.  Those are the same numbers Hancock has on their web site,   
which makes me more certain they are selling the same compressor from  
the same wholesale supplier.  Ranshu is apparently the importer and  
sole source and does not sell retail.  And, that's all I know until I  
get around to installing mine.

You didn't ask, but I would be more antsy about a used compressor that  
has  ? miles and sat in the weather ? years.
