If a new carburetor did the trick, your old carb had issues that can still be resolved for much less money than a new carb. Then you will have a working spare, which is nice, because your new carb may develop the same issues. Plus you will have gained experience working on your carb. Over time, A4 owners become skilled at carb cleaning and distributor turning.
The hard part of distributor turning is reaching in with a 1/2" wrench to turn the hold-down bolt with one hand, while bracing yourself with the other hand at a spot separate from the engine. You might practice that without it running first. Don't loosen it too much, just enough so that the distributor will stay in the position that makes higher rpm, or lower vacuum. Then tighten it. Good Luck!
