around £10 inc vat from vw , use a pair of molegrips and clamp around the broken peice that goes into the engine (be carefull not to over grip onto it) and and gently pull towards ya , take ya time cos if it snaps below the hole ur gonna be f**ked  :lipsrsealed: fairly easy tho tbf

hope this help's

Ok may be worth getting it there instead of waiting for one from ebay then. So you pull the part of the engine frst and then pull the bottom half out too ye? its snapped in the middle as you see from pic.
