Diff lock actuator boot/seal

[Monkeymagic]

I’ve had the S2 off the road for a couple of years as I’ve been busy with business and there’s been a running issue with the old girl, which is thankfully now resolved and she passed her not with flying colours yesterday..
While I had the car on my two poster I noted a little dribble of oil from the rear differential. It’s coming from the actuator boot, the metal part that pushes in is corroding and holed.
I’m after part number 017 525 075a, they are online but frankly £142 for a tiny boot is crazy..
anyone got any better suggestions for these please?

Seems tradition sell them at a far more sensible price, post is the same as the part though.. I assume we can thank coming out of the EU for that!

As a resident of Germany, I ship Tradition parts out of the EU on a weekly basis. I charge a handling fee of 10% of the parts price or €20 - whichever is the greater.

Your part €68.72
Handling Fee €20
Shipping to me from Tradition (unless I can piggy-back it on another order) €7.99
Shipping to the UK €17.99
Total €114.70
(slightly more if you would like to pay with PayPal Goods & Services, to cover the buyer protection fee).

This applies to anyone looking for ad-hoc Tradition shipments where you have difficulty ordering due to the destination country. For example, the UK or the USA. Shipping costs out of the EU vary depending on destination and package size. And the shipping costs on larger freight items are typically prohibitive.
