Went to the dealer to have him check if my VIN (11/09 build date, plastic housing) is listed for a replacement and it came back clean. I guess I will be driving around with the plastic pump until it fails.

Thanks for the great photos. My Q5 is a March 2010 build date and has the aluminum housing.

I just had him look "in the computer", not specificly for the RVU list. I guess I have to call him again :-)
