       Excuse me, but it's $346 my cost wholesale, here in Almonte, Ontario.  
Retail cost is over $400.  That's in those Canadian $$, from my Friendly 
Neighbourhood VW dealer, before you start flooding my mail box with messages 
to the contrary.  I checked the Bus Depot's website and came up with a price 
of $239 or $249 USD.  That's why some of us are trying to repair them.
