[s-cars] Wet Foot

[Tom Green]

You are just looking at inconvenience for awhile, Paul.  Watch that  
the fluid does not make
things slippery underfoot and use a rubber mat if you have the  
irreplaceable OEM mats in
the car.

The problem with the Rockauto offering is same with all their parts- 
lack of confidence in
quality and whether it is even the correct part.  I would suspect not  
in this case.  If you look
in the UrS6 listing I don't even see a part offered, and the UrS4  
listing shows a vacuum
booster, so there is definitely problems with the catalog.  I'm not  
sure how you found this
part, but I don't like Cardone as a rebuilder either.  They are  
probably competent to do
brake calipers (maybe) but this would have been a one-off repair of  
the booster if indeed
it is the right part.  There are just not that many boosters in the  
system to supply a regular
rebuilding program.

By looking for a reliable seller for a used part, I meant someone here  
or on Quattroworld.com
in the UrS4/UrS6/S2/RS2 forum and ask directly in the forum, not the  
classified.  Scott Sierakowski
at Coventry Motorworks has been parting a car or two.   Use the  
searchfunction in the audifans
marketplace as well.

You may have found a used part from Chris Chambers.  I don't know how  
much of a guarantee
you can expect from a used part, but he won't misrepresent the  
condition and should be willing
to refund your money if it turns out to be defective.  He shouldn't  
charge very much either.  : )
