JC Whitney are a direct mail order outfit.  There are no dealers as such.
You call with your credit card in your hand. 

I've slowly assembled the bits and pieces for a complete FI strip and 
renovate. Should you contemplate this - the parts are actually quite cheap. 035 
198 685 is a repair kit for the metering head, and contains a new pressure 
regulator valve and about 15 gaskets and washers at the distinctly non-Audi 
price of GBP25. Comes complete with a little booklet about what to do.  You 
don't need the recommended gasket set 035 198 691 because all the bits are 
already in the other one. Replacement bearings for the air mass sensor arm are 
a breeze at GBP2.79, and a few O-rings make up the rest. 

(Yes, that was GBP2.79!  Less than three quid for two ball bearings, two 
circlips, two O-rings, two blanking plates and a spring.  Since wear in this
bearing is one of the possible causes of my erratic throttle, it's not too much 
to risk on trying it.)

Less than fifty quid for all of the bits.

I'm convinced that there _are_ no Bosch fuel injection experts in this country.
