i doubt that they will have them at the dealer, they will want to sell
you a complete wheel cylinder or caliper.  you can try auto zone or your
local auto parts sometimes they will have them, but finding ones for vw's
can be hard.  if i remember they might be able to order them but don't
stock them.  you could always find the local brake parts rebuilder and see
if they have a line on a supply, or go to the local bone yard and scavenge
some.  200 high hertz taps with a hammer and or punch, and some heat will
general get them out without stripping them.
