You can get a Motive Products Brake Bleeder directly from Motive
Products.  They have a model specifically for European vehicles,
including VW, here for $54.95

They also have a universal model here for $62.95

I have had mine (the Euro model) for about 5 years and I used it again
this past week.  It sure makes bleeding the brakes an easy task.  Of
course, you're reservoir will be a bit overfull when you finish.  I
use an old turkey baster to suck out the excess.

can operate by hand? Under $60. I have 6 vehicles and it would be nice
to have something more user friendly than just a piece of plastic
funnel that gets stuck in the bleeder screw attached to a tube and
bottle.

Thank you, Andy<<
