Same thing has just happened to me, though mine was a 2010 VRS DSG. Wrote it off with what looked like minimal damage, although they said it could cost up to £7500 to repair. I bought the car on here for £8500 in 2013, and I got £6400 from the insurers, which really surprised me as I was expecting some miserly offer around £3 - £4000. I guess £2000 depreciation over 9 years isn't too bad Shame I had to find another £17k to buy the replacement 😞

Many thanks for your reply. Original is definitely 'A'. After much more googling I have found a different part on the Febi site and it looks like that is the one I should have ordere. I want to swap the part anyway so I'm just about to order a genuine part from Coverdale. I'm not taking any chances this time, so I'm send reg, vin, and date of registration Lesson learnt and £40 down the drain !! Cheers.

Hi folks, its been a while. I have trawled the archives but not found a definitive answer to my query. I'm not much of a home mechanic nowadays, - prefer to leave it to the experts, however, the car has cost an arm and a leg recently so thought I would fit a new oil separator myself - straightforward job The original part was still in place which is stamped 06H 103 495 A. I realize that there are several revisions of the part, and the one I ordered was a Febi Bilstein item, which on the box says it is equivalent to 06H 103 495 AH. The part was being replaced purely as a preventative measure on advice. The car was running ok. I replaced the part which was quite simple, and started the car. I now have an uneven idle and when I blip the throttle, the rev drop to idle isn't instant, - it seems to take a second or two holding just over 1000rpm, before it drops to idle around 800/850rpm. Did around 150 miles yesterday and had no problem with performance. I've just had a couple of hours trawling for info about revisions but have confused myself even more. I don't know whether the part fitted is wrong or faulty or whether replacing it has shown another fault. The info I can find seems to point to it being the correct part. All advice gratefully received.
