All VW 8V , Audi 5KS, 5KCST, 5KCSTQ, 4KCSQ, Coupe GT  use the
same stock timing gear,  as well as 100&200 thru '89 and 80Q, 90 and
90Q thru mid '89. So I see no reason why the VW adjustable wouldn't 
work on these Audis. Anyone who is interested in an adjustable gear is 
welcome to email me privately.

<Disclaimer> - I *do* have a financial interest in this one, I sell them
for VW's. Never sold one to an Audi customer yet but.....

Hope this helps,
