[V8] G28 sensor afterall and ABS control unit

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Good point, Steve.  I sometimes forget that the years apply more so to
European, rather than US models.  The accelerometer was introduced in mid
1988 (same time the dash was changed), where the control box in the 200q/
5kcstq switched to the 857 907 379 "B" and then to the "D" designation in
'89.

I don't have TFA to refer to here, but I do know that there is one
fundamental difference ... the earlier ABS systems did not have the
accelerometer switch.  I know that my 88 5kCSQA does not have the
accelerometer.  You will want to make sure you don't get an earlier brain
...

Audi ABS control boxes seem to be pretty available here in the states,
perhaps this is a situation where you might want to look abroad for your
solution ... perhaps Audi Connection or Force 5 can get you what you need
...
