Yes. For a '89 200TQ it is a 535 698 671, I've paid $23 for mine. The 
rebuild itself is easy, provided you have a tool that screws the pistons in.
Check the fiche for your model year, though. Audi has many rotor/caliper 
setups for the same model year. If the dia/shape of the O-rings do not match 
yours EXACTLY - its a wrong kit. They don't swell because of the brake 
fluid! Actually, the number is on the dust cap-check yours first. Otherwise 
you may end up stranded for a couple of weeks, like I was, waiting for the 
right kit to arrive.
