B46-0130 is for the 84 - 91 Audi 100/200 (5000/t) Non Q, which is the only
Type 44 listed as available for our cars in America.  It fits
dimensionally... (but broke...  Hmmmmm...)

There is no American listing for Quattro's, but there is on the German Site
Peter Mentioned (Great info here)...

German site says the Type 44 100 is:
B46-0130 (same as USA 5000/T, fits my 200tqa...  More Hmmmm)

German site says the Type 44 200 is:
B46-1576 (Different shock than above, But USA Bil says use B46-0130)

German site says the Type 44 100/200/Avant Q is:
B46-2065 (Peter's #)

I wonder if these shocks are dimensionally similar, yet built to different
weight specs?  It seems I need B46-2065's...

Comments appreciated, and thanks Peter, what a great resource your URL
turned out to be...
