     If Audi doesn't request the old part back, or they decline
     to replace it and I have to buy another one, it's yours.
     I've tried the route of replacing the high pressure
     Pento$in hoses (on the 5KS) by fitting the old ends onto
     new hose, and the hoses started to seep less than a year
     later. Bit the bullet and bought the Audi hoses, about
     four years now without a leak.

     I suspect that the hose they sold me for the V8Q was probably
     sitting on a shelf somewhere since 1989.

     Yeah, I might be prepared for it after I finish doing the
     timing belt. ;)  It's been a week and a half now, and no word
     from Audi yet when the "sliding block" I ordered will
     arrive so I can finish doing the timing belt.
     How much would it have cost to stamp that damn tensioning
     fork "This side Twords Engine" and saved me from this
     headache.  I still can't believe I put that damn thing on
     backwards.

     BCNU,

     PS: Did anyone else besides Randall get a recall notice for
     the cruise control?  I haven't received anything from A of A.
