True... I am shopping at the wrong place.

At the VW dealer, in Austria (Europe).  Clutch and compressor together costs
around 900 Euro!

Seems that all the A/C parts are dirt cheap in the States though.  Sorry for
the misinformation.  I should have mentioned where I was checking the prices
from.

See ya,
