I think they're about £680 from Audi/VW, but you can't exchange unless you've got a friendly parts guy. ;)

Best bet is to trawl the classifieds/ebay/breakersyard.com etc, etc. :afro:

They usually come around for anything from £80-150 SH. :)

Will the fluid damage the paint on the alloys?? Might be worth checking.
