The AC pulley idle bearing is bad on my 99 A6 1,8 Tq Avant...
Where can i get a new one? (I would prefer a Web shop

There might be another way to do it...take off your electromagnetic clutch assembly and just replace the bearing. You'll have to disassemble the clutch and press out the bearing, but chances are it can be done with a lot of work.
Measure inside and outside diameters of the bearing and find one from a bearing supplier.
I did this once for a Saab AC idler pulley, NOT the clutch pulley, and the replacement worked much better than the stock POS.
99 A6 1.8 TDI? Was that ever sold in North America? Or do you mean a 1.8 liter Turbo Quattro Avant? That's probably a UK car too....

Also, I found less expensive complete ac compressor assemblies at http://www.discountacparts.com/. Get the part number off your compressor.
You might be better off buying an entire assembly and using the clutch off it if you don't want to replace the entire compressor and recharge the system. However if you have the OEM compressor on a 12 year old car, you might consider replacing the compressor and the receiver/dryer unit and getting full ac performance back!
