     I recently did the pump on the '84 5KS, and
     I'm happy to say I have dry pump/engine side
     for the first time since I bought the car.
     I had no problem getting the kit, the part
     number is even listed in the Bentley. The
     Audi Dealer even had these listed on his
     montly specials flyer at the time.

     I did get a trickle out of the hex screw
     plugs, which I couldn't remove, so I filled
     the holes with windshield cement (on the
     advise of a dealer tech) and it's sealed
     tight now.

     Several others on this list have also reported
     excellent results with these kits.
