Today's project is replacing the accumulator on my Audi. I struggled to get the old one out after fighting with rusty/stuck bolts, but finally pulled it out. The only problem is that the bolt at the very bottom of the mount (seen on the old accumulator on the right) is rusted badly and can't be taken off normally. I even jammed a slightly-too-small socket onto it, but it stripped off the remains of the edges. So now it looks like I may have to cut it off, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about replacing it. Also, I have no way to cut it off at my house, so I'll have to take it to my cousin's shop. But I have no transportation. Ugh.

I feel your pain. When i had that '89 100 2.3e, i had to replace the pressure accumulator too, and i could only find one from the German ebay - which was for an earlier generation, so the mechanic had to change the pressure lines too, because the fitting was different.

Wish I could help. At your next available opportunity, you should invest in a Dremel. The corded ones aren't that expensive, and a cutoff wheel could take care of that in short order.
