Power steering banjo "special" bolt
Okay I have been back and forth to Audi 4 times now and I am at a loss, they say this bolt is no longer made but they have ordered the other 2 bolts that go into the pump (the huge feed line banjo and the half screw into and half hose clamp onto) but can not find this bolt in the exploded diagrams.
They are looking up my car not as an S4 but as a 100 but I have also had them try through my VIN. But I just went back and nothing again so there are no good junk yards around me that I know of here in Denver and I've tried just about everywhere else so if someone could help me out I have a picture to show which bolt its the front of the pump

There is a very active Audi club chapter in your area, and a few years ago had more UrS4 and 6 models than any other metro area. There are still several cars there and I know some visit local salvage yards (and avoid one or two). Local help is always better than long-distance internet help, since that may also be hands-on help. : )
The UrS4 will be found in the 100 model section with parts identified for the S4 where unique. A parts catalog of your own would be very handy. Until then, you can use www.vagcat.com by registering on the web site. It shows the bolt in the brake section as item 11, banto bolt M10X1X19 part# 443 612 275C. This is because the 4A0 612 065 high pressure hose that this bolt attaches to the pump is a brake hydraulic boost pressure hose, the well-known "J" hose.

It may be the parts person was looking in the wrong section of ETKA for the part. Whatever the cause, these bolts are used in many applications, so with the size, length, and thread pitch, a replacement can be found.

Perfect I will use that website I'm trying to still learn about these cars. So thanks for all the help and patience the Audi parts guy found it and said it was a $52 bolt! I got it for $35 though so thank you again now I can put my car back together

Next time you feel compelled to spend an outrageous amount for a part, check the forum first, or at least the FAQ at the beginning. You didn't say why you needed this bolt, but I can understand the urgency if you need the car on the road. Part of the reason for the existence of this web site is to make ownership affordable, and sources for parts as well as DIY help is a big part of that.
