Well, I hope you get the kit you need.  The one that Audi sell as the metering 
head repair kit is basically just a new system pressure regulation valve, a set 
of shims with which to adjust it, and a few O-rings associated with the valve - 
part number 035 198 685.

They sold me one too, despite the fact that the system pressure valve has been 
stripped out of the MB's metering head and replaced with a separate external 
component.

I'm still trying to find a UK source for the proper rebuild kit including the 
diaphragm.
