I bought one for $20 in a group buy. Its a splice in one but is the same part. No biggie in my opinion, sure not something to hold on the reliable side of this stupid discussion which I am still trying to figure out why we're in. Oh yes, Scott is in this conversation and there is always something better or more experienced in these topics, ugg, I love my urs, that is all for me, back to lurking :-(

In a nutshell... that CPS situation blows. As many miles as I have, and as much
as my UrS goes out in the sticks, it might be wise to buy one and carry it
along... even if it's $300.
As much trouble as I had finding a set of 225/45/17 snow tires in Montana last
year... I'd hate to have to find a CPS in a hurry.
Having no BTDT with that part, I may not even recognize the failure symptoms.

The 1.8t coils are 'better', but any vw stocks them because they are still a
known weak link. CPS isn't an if, it's a when, and IME, just when a guy does a
fresh tune up service for a long trip. The hardest part of the CPS IMO, is as
it starts to fail, it gives intermittent driveability problems that don't always
(rarely IME) throw a code. A real bitch to try to tell a guy that a 300USD part
'might' be the problem, and it requires cam gear removal, and the only
diagnostic for it, is replace with known good.

I ditched the POS in favor of the 1.8t coils. I've got 240k on mine... never
replaced the CPS either.
