1.0 TSI Throttle Body 04C133062C - Broken Spring

[ColinStone]

The spring in the throttle body has just failed abroad, so needed a VW dealer repair. I found a supply source in Poland who can supply springs for €25 instead of a few £00 for the complete body. So I can get a couple sent to a French address.
It seems quite a common failure across a number of VAG cars, a bit of a design failure??

Wondered if anyone knew of a specialist spring maker in UK who might be able to fabricate?? I have found https://www.leespring.co.uk/

Bugger......& seems like a common problem....on top of the sticking turbo wastegate actuator rod pivot joint......two minor faults causing expensive "replace whole box" type solutions!!..I hate it!!
