It's all a part of VW's "Common parts filosophy", where costs can be cut

My 1998 VW Passat with the 1.8T engine uses the EXACT same vacuum bellow thingy as my 1987 Audi Coupe GT with the NG engine to control the cruise control. I see no differences, although I have not checked part number. I guess they found a design that works and decided to stick with it for all eternity. It just goes to show, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
