Chris @ force5auto dot com is a good source of used Audi parts.
I've used him many times.

As for the lack of oil, I'm sure I'll be the only one to say so,
but I wouldn't worry about it.  My '89 200 blew an oil cooler
hose and dumped all its oil. I had it replaced with a used unit,
which a couple months later also blew a hose and dumped all the
oil (hence the name, "Bad Puppy" for its penchant for marking
its territory).  I replaced the whole thing with an after market
unit, and shortly thereafter one of the clamps loosened and...
dumped all the oil.  That's three times in all. The second
episode happened about a mile from home, and I was so pissed, I
drove it the whole mile without oil. I put about 20K miles on
it after the last incident, before the car went up in smoke due
to an electrical fire.

HTH, YMMV, etc.
