While I certainly appreciate the effort Phil invests in his support efforts, I
sometimes wonder how useful it really is considering that it appears Audi
doesn't always give identical parts the same part number in every market
around the world.

For instance, I have fairly recent copies of parts fiches for both the U.S.
and U.K. versions of the Ur-Q and when I compare the two side-by-side, I find
more often than not that the part numbers are different.  Perhaps this means
there is a subtle difference in the parts but I'd be surprised if this is true
in every instance.  In any event, I think it probably does limit somewhat the
usefulness of his efforts...
