The high cost is due to the fact the part is only available as Genuine VW
(i.e., no aftermarket suppliers).  That being said, I can get these from my
vendor for $218.44, plus shipping.

so 235-240 seems about the best price from a few onlines
www.importedcarparts.com, and http://www.autohausaz.com
one other related question can these coolers be rebuilt
how do they fail the gowesty site says fails internally
is there a rubber seal of some type the seperates the coolant from the
tranny oil ?
