Yes.

What - the distributor going or Audi having a common part on back-order?

The former - no.  The latter - yes.  Call Tim at The Parts Department
by late Monday and you'll have one on Wednesday morning.  Why it takes
Audi three weeks to ship a part from Germany when it only takes the
independents 24 hours is beyond me.
