Vw charge mega bucks.
If you can wait a couple days try j&r drive shafts on eBay. A few of us on here run them with no problems

Mate had a J&R one and it didnt last.

Im running a AMK one now (or was) and it was holding up fine, had minimal play in it which is expected but held up to 275lbft torque well enough under the abuse it got!

[navmk4gti]

go to local parts dealer and get one under warranty, thats i did, you can get full shaft for like £50 avoid dealers they want something like 170 quid per side

[Chris.]

£50?

Cheapest i could find was £95'ish

[porter_89]

[Chris.]

Theres a lot of different shaft variations

Remember to check the one you get.
