Default Power steering problem

Hey guys I own a 97 audi a4 quattro 2.8 and im looking for a replacement power steering pump. All the ones I've found say they only match vins 2000001 and up. Mine is like 146xxxx where can I find a power steering pump to fit my car?

I've found the 1997 Audi A4 Power Steering Pump that would cost you around $148. It will fit in your 2.8 quattro easily.

$15-20 at mine. Find a 12v part-out in the classifieds and buy the pump from that.
