Just get one from the stealers (not sure of the price) along with new gasket and plug. Easy job, make sure you torque the many bolts to the right amount though.

VW sell 'em. Don't think they're too pricey new.

Don't know how hard it is, I don't believe it's too tricky though.

Just a few tricky bolts amongst the 20ish and torque should be 15lb ft IIRC.

I believe that there is a plate at the flywheel end that needs to be removed to get at a few of the bolts - not difficult.

 

And do the bolts up rather as you would a cylinder head, i.e. from one side to the other and progressively tighter.

 

Best wishes

I did thge one on my golf highline after I came home from offshore and there was oil on the drive!!! Women and speed bumps i don't know!!!

Was a doddle to do and as said previous you have to remove a small plate that covers the flywheel!! 1 hour tops to change!!

£80 from stealer is true enough too
