Follow up to my previous post.  The newer units are sold in three parts.
Actuator unit, Plug in harness and Pigtail to connect to existing wiring.
The new plug in harness with its rigid end going into the actuator is the
problem child.  The engineers at VW went for a beer and bratwurst lunch
prior to designing the new unit.

P>S> As I indicated to you I wanted a new part rather that used.  Sorry old
man but your unit is a year older that my kaput one.  Email me off line re
rubber mats.

The new unit from the dealer is like you say, but they also sell you a
pigtail adapter that goes with it so that it connects like the old one
should..................
