Yeah had mine replaced recently by the local mechanic, i had VW inspect and service it after i bought the car and they flagged it as onnits way out, there was a noticable rattle coming from it when cold.
After replacement its much quieter and a bit smoother.
If you do replace tripple check that you get the right one, it took me a good bit of looking before i was confident i had the right part, and even the mechanic wasnt certain.
