Depends on engine but I believe it is on the end of the fuel rail

on the 2l 8v AGG at least its on the end of the fuel rail.  Suspect that same for the GTI's and VR6's.

Easy to change - but expensive from VW - £60 ish.   Worth checking the hose to the throttle-body is OK first.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.
