Seems someone in Portugal unsealed a warehouse that's been sealed up
with its doors welded shut for at least 15 years, and found this lot.

Greg, I'd be running away from that shop. The CV boot
can be replaced along with repacking the joint, it
will be fine. Even M&M Audi in San Jose which is
notorious for recommending unnecessary work will just
change the boot.
The strut boot, well, I've been driving my coupe for 8
years with boots that won't stay attached on Bilstein
struts. I gave up trying a long time ago. I suggest
just reattaching them maybe using a tie-wrap or hose
clamp, and check periodically. It is certainly better
to have the boot there to protect the shaft seal from
getting compromised by dirt, but with the weather
we've been having in N. Cal...
I don't know of any good Audi shops in the foothills,
but there is 2Bennett in Davis and German Motors in
Tahoe City if you get desparate enough to drive.

Chuck,
I am guessing you removed the regulator and found the brushes worn
out as the means to determine you need a new regulator? And so, you can
compare the possible replacements with the old regulator? If they
are 14 volt regulators and physically fit your alternator, they
should work fine.
I see the dealer part retails for about $165 for this particular part
#, so it is not a local dealer rip-off. If you took the alternator
to a local rebuild shop,
they would most likely install a compatible asian part since you can
buy a rebuilt alternator for the price of the dealer part. If you
are looking online,
you will probably have to search by part #. I see
<www.ecstuning.com> has a regulator listed with a worldpac photo.

Lee,
Try <www.autohausaz.com> and search by the specific part #.
They have a very competetive price for the Stabilus OEM shocks
and the cheaper aftermarket as well.

Oh. My. God.
At first I thought it was an impoundment garage of some sort, perhaps
closed by "the authorities." Then I started looking for signs that it
was somebody's collection... Then I started drooling. Oops! there
wouldn't be an English version of information about it somewhere for the
linguistically impaired, would there?
