Apparently if your engine is a byd engine code there is no such kit

If you were interested in buying and getting fitted by an indy you can buy the kit in belfast for £97.00. TFSI_Mike put me onto it. They also do a swap (with yours) for a recon water pump - both total at £128.50.

Not sure how you would get it to GB though but decent price to consider??
