The early with a "center" electrical Weather-Pack there are 2. They're generally black or white but all should be marked either 35 - 39 or 40 - 45. Which do you have?

Needing "white" hints the car is either a 4+3 or if an A4 it's a 3.07 rear axle. Which? If you've removed yours what did you find for a gear color and tooth count on your gear.
