I had to replace a couple, and I found them at a junkyard. It helps that VW and Audi use those same clips, so you should be able to find them.

Just my 2 cents. If you were not having a problem before your shaft snapped, then it would be a stretch to think that the rack would fail while you were just replacing the pump. Logic would say that...

I had great results using Leather Works. It was a perfect color match. Use several thin coats, don't try to do it all in one coat. It has been three months now, and it is holding up great.

Take it to another Auto Zone and just have them clear the codes. I did this once also, and the SES light did not reset by itself. It should, but it didn't. The fuse story makes no sense.

When you pull the latch in the grill, does it feel like it is connected to anything? If not, that secondary latch may be broken, probably the spring. If you get a coat hanger with a hook on the...

Have someone pull and hold the hood release while you jiggle the hood. The little secondary release lever should pop through the grill, and then you can open it.

Do you have rain sensing wiper option? If so, just turn it off. I think the button is on the end of the stalk, but check your owner's manual.

Did you happen to check the idler and tensioner pulleys when you checked the belts? You may have one that is failed or close to it.
