yeah was pulled out fully, lasted nearly 3 years so cant be due to that, we tried pulling it out again and refitting and spraying with wd40 but no joy. ive put a universal one on so i can use car over weekend, as main dealers cant get one til monday. shall check vw out before buying one though thanks for that. my galaxy must of been built on a nightshift or friday lol had loads of common faults i.e fuel relay, wiper linkage and wiring loom in boot broke to name but a few. thinking of getting rid of it had that many problems
