I've had a Pierburg pump in my 5000TQ for about 15k miles now and it has
been silent and trouble-free.

Some will probably disagree with me, but I'd stay away from the Bosch pump.
Bosch replacement pumps for older Audis are now being manufactured in Czech
Republic and this factory is apparently having quality problems. My
replacement pump became noisy couple of weeks after installation and
several other listers had the same problem.
