O-ring, and a new bleeder screw comes with one.

My dealer told me I would have to buy the set: most of what you see in the picture. US$17?

That is great, does anyone has a part number though??

Thank you once again.

I'll try to look for a link on that, when I go upstairs to the desktop. I think we came up with an alternate source, and I'm pretty sure I bookmarked it. I'm on the laptop in the den, watching college hoops, right now.

I need the part for the bolt, not the gasket!

What's the bolt look like? Is is not something you could get at a good hardware store, that has a good selection of metric stuff?

That's not a separate part in ETKA, either, just like the o-ring.

I just emailed you the screencap of the ETKA plate. Hope you have a high speed connection.

You won't get just the screw.

Part number for the whole bleeder is 4D0819159 (Audi calls it a "connecting pipe" just so it's easy to find on a parts list!).
List is $70, so $17 is a good deal (unless the dealer was mis-heard ) - also available on Ebay from the UK a8 parts specialist.

However, the most common fault with these is a failure of the o-ring seal.

You can replace these with a common o-ring available from plumbing store (or hardware plumbing dept) or bearing specialists.
Size is: 7/16(O.D.) x 3/32(t) X 1/4(I.D.).
Only use Nitrile or Viton, NEVER Silicone o-rings.
Buy a small tube of Rubber Grease while you're at it to lubricate the o-ring when you screw the bleeder-screw into the housing - if not available from hardware, try an auto parts store.
