Year, model, country of your car? ...if non-USA, which engine?

That 2nd one looks like a 30v V6 pump.
The V8 pumps are all like the 1st one.

I have a 30V one I'll sell you if you're in Australia!

Just at a glance, the 2nd pump looks a bit like a D2 "tandem" pump used on non-US models with the self leveling rear suspension option.

Part numbers are everything, though.

If this is the '95 D2 mentioned in an earlier thread, does it have self leveling rear suspension? ...Have you looked at the part number compared to the one for sale? ...extra set of out/inlets on the pump?

It Is an 4,2 ABZ with hydraulic leveling system, which isn't used anymore because it started leaking. Non US btw! So what you are saying is that I can use the first pump if I don't use the leveling system?

This pump should fit my car wouldn't it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/B-Ware-Hydraulikpumpe-Servopumpe-Audi-A8-D2-4d-/301490633349?pt=DE_Autoteile&fits=Make%3AAudi%7CModel%3AA8&hash=item46323dfa85

I would think so, as long as the mounting bracket (seems to be same part on both versions) and the hydraulic lines line up and connect at the same points.

It's the correct part # for a non-self-level D2.

iv put a uv dye in my ps fluid and it leaks in the middle of the pump,i guess it is consisted of 2 pieces and 4 bolts secure that there is no leak.
Is there a gasket in the middle of the pump that can be changed or i should try tighten the bolts?

My local mech replaced the pump with zf rebuilt 280$ plus labor 350$.
No more whine on a cold start!

have you ever seen p/s fluid leaking in where the steering shaft goes through the firewall? When I remove the floor mat there is some sort of oil dripping down from where the shaft goes through the firewall. It had to top off the p/s once a couple years ago, so it must be a pretty slow leak but enough that you can see it puddle and then run down the insulation mat. I'm guessing the end of steering rack is right at the firewall? Can't think of anything else there that would leak.
