FYI- I contacted VW and they state that since the recall was already done,
if it fails again, it is my responsibility after 12/12000 warranty. I will
be checking ETKA and Bentley for all related part numbers other than the one
I have, 200-298-001 ($12.00) so I can have all on-hand to repair. Any hints
on the part # would be appreciated. Thanks.  BTW recall # is 93V175000
recall status SU00.
