Yup!

I gave up and got Awesome GTI to fit mine. The mechanic said he hopes he never has to do another one EVER  :signLOL:

I ended up getting VW to do mine (I got a half price job via a misquote!). Its a 4 hr job!
I spoke to the mechanic afterwards, he said that they hate doing them - even they sometimes struggle to get it under 4 hrs and get a penalty if they go overtime!

I heard it was a ball ache but my friend changed mine in 45 minutes, I think maybe he's discovered a secret  :signLOL:
