Never changed them myself but if your handy with the spammers I would've thought you could do it? But if your not at all mechanically minded book it into a good local garage and they should be able to order the parts for you?
Or you could get the parts from the local vw parts counter or euro car parts as us forum members get 25% discount  :wink:

Buy a new one. That way it is a bolt on bolt off jobby if you are not a flid with a spanner and you have access to a few tools.

The J&R ones are good. Come with a 2 year garuntee...Both of mine are J&R :afro:

Cheers I'll look into that just worried it won't be the right one because I have the agu and I've been told these two different ones ???

phone them and tell them you need the early version. Dave did this after receiving the wrong one for his AGU and they sent out a replacement straight away with no questions
