Good luck in your search, I too am looking for prechambers.
I resorted to knocking some out of another head I had, the problem with this is they are larger so I have to have a machine shop CNC the holes for the new ones. They are charging me $100.00 to do it.
I have asked them to hold off for a bit so I can look for direct replacements.

I did a search here and on other sites and came up with a few links but non panned out.

This place sent me a catalogue last year that listed them for about $20 apiece.

They're on page P-170.   Unfortunately they won't ship to Canada, even though they were willing to send me a catalogue.  If you're getting some maybe you can order a set for me too, and ship them on.

You cannot source 1.6 prechambers in north america, only 1.9 ones are available and they are larger then the 1.6 ones. The 1.6 also had two sizes to make things even worse...
Maybe in europe, but here VW never sold them and the aftermarket never bothered.
