There is starting to be. More and more I'm starting to find alternate sources other than Volkswagen. Typically these are importers who are simply bringing the actual German-made parts to the US themselves, thereby bypassing Volkswagen of America's markup. (In this particular case, my price would be $38.50, versus around $55 from the dealer; part number 251 121 082.) -Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com (610) 754-VWVW |
