Yes I believe so mate, I think it's just a ball joint isn't it?

VW must be on a money saving mission as mine had the plastic part when I bought it about 2 years ago...

I got mine about 2 months ago and it came with the plastic part - maybe your dealer would be able to provide that part on its own?

Yeah it does only make a small difference but I much prefer how it feels now.
