Actually, the current list price is $339.10 at the Volkswagen Dealer.

And Miguel, FTE is formally known as FAG before they merged with another
automotive group in Europe.  ATE is still a separate company, both of them
being made in Germany (for the moment - a lot of ATE production has shifted
to Italy in the past several years).

The spare I have in my stash is FAG/FTE brand, which currently is the most
common available right now

VW # 251 611 021 C, FAG/FTE # H23932.12.1

$100 is an excellent price, take it and run.  Airhead/VWG just got some in
today direct from FTE/FAG Europe and the best price they can do at this
moment is $139.95 thanks to the the "sucky" dollar to euro exchange.
Airhead/VWG also offers an "Economy" European made cylinder for $64.95 -
never used one, but looks awful purty - sold quite a few for the past year
or so with no comebacks.
