It was my understanding that the hydraulic accumulator (bomb) was in the
brake circuit, not the PS circuit.  I know mine is that way.  Did they
change that on later models?

Can someone post a crossreference between Pentosin and Audi hydraulic part
numbers?  I know mine uses G2000 / Pentisin 7.1, but what's the other two
numbers?
