I concur, in fact this advice extends to ANY Digifant motor, e.g. in an
A2 Golf or Jetta as well.  In my experience they are good for a couple
of years on average.  I just replaced it on my van and it resolved a
problem I had with stumbling/very low power when starting the engine
cold.

Maybe at the dealer; they can be found for much less on-line.  I keep a
spare in the glove box.  Get the O-rings with them, they're cheap as
well.
