After recently sourcing at RNS510 version C LED, i set about sourcing a manual for it - i know, i know, i can download a pdf of the "b" version but im quite anal about stuff like this and prefer the manual so i can put it in the folder.
Anyway, after phoning a couple of dealers near me (manchester), answer ranged from "unable to buy them separate" to £50 for the whole mk6 folder.
So, i decided to email a few other dealers around the country- 139 of them to be exact!!
starting to get replies back... ranging from £10 - £33 and everything in between!!!
that is some price range!! Any ideas whats the reason for this??

no offence mate but 139 dealers?! admire the dedication but buy a PS3 or something lol
dealers aren't owned by VW remember. they're owned by franchises. they all pay slightly different delivery costs, and have different mark ups. i did notice recently, however, that Mercedes seem to have standardised their prices. my mum recently had a mishap with her car and needed a new bumper for it. 3 different dealers from 3 different groups all quoted exactly the same price
anyhow, dealers will usually price match each other, so if went back to your local dealer with the best price that's the price you should pay

Sounds to me like some are quoting for a full manual
"Book pack" others for the booklet
Prices should be the same across the network, IE VW costs plus the 30% or what ever the markup will be, there is brand standard for it
