it's time to forget the original vw parts

Sorry to hear about that... It's a real pain.

The price VW quoted you... I'm assuming that included painting?

If so, get just the part and take it to a painter. It will be much cheaper that way.

that wont be incl paint, my dad used to have a volvo* and his was Â£170 in the box from the dealer

this is due to volvo using 3 motors unlike everyone else using 2. but yes that is about right price wise for an oem part. all of a suddedn those after market m3`s dont look so pricy do they?

* the volvo was a 760GLE completly stock, completly sleeper
met blue estate (looks like the 740) old man driving, but packing 2.9 liters of v-6 produced, slippy dif controled, rwd driftin` obcenity. now let me ask you; have you ever got a rwd car sideways, thats pushing 2 ton. I have and beleve me when i say its fun

those saxos at the lights never figured it out hahaha dont ya love oem volvos
