agreed, or a clutch specialist, I used Mr.Clutch
VW will rip you to shreds on labour charges

Thats a reasonable price for supply and fit, the actual cable does not cost much under 30 squid or so

Just like my mum and dad's old Audi Cab, for a new wire that opens the door, they were quoted about £60 supply and fit, they're friend got the cable for about a tenner! My mum and dad just gave him £20 to do it.
He works at a place in Bedford called VW Panels so knew what he was doing

Yep, fairly often, the parts are cheap, just the labour is high - sometimes the labour cost is unjustifiably high
for some tasks
