You can buy one direct from the VW special tools and Equipment program. The part number for the tool is a 2066. Looks like they get $20 for it (probably a Matra tool). CHEEP.

Your local dealer MIGHT sell it to you, but who the hell knows. My dealer claims they can't sell the tools to the general public.

Check it out. It's tool porn:
