Polo 6R - Exhaust pipe with throttle valve unit - where to buy?

Hello everyone,

The exhaust pipe, including the valve control unit (part number 6C0253101E), on my daughter's Polo 6R is rusted through. I will add a photo later.

I have already inquired at , and the price of the item there is 400 €. However, they also have a delivery time of 1 to 2 weeks. It seems this part is not available from alternative suppliers – I've been searching for ages and have been corresponding back and forth with Autodoc's customer service.

My question to you: Have you ever encountered the problem of not being able to get a part at a reasonable price and quickly? Do you happen to know if there's a three-piece solution available? I mean, an exhaust pipe - valve - exhaust pipe combination? Or could you recommend a dealer where I can order genuine VW parts online?

Sure, here's the translation:

"LG" translates to "Best regards" or "Sincerely" in English.

Hi,

Okay, so if I enter the part number 6C0253101E into autodoc.at, do I get multiple results?

What is this "tax evasion unit" about? The product images look like they're just showing a regular trouser leg.

Hello Rainer,

That's the problem, but it might also be due to an incorrect part number.
On eBay, you can find what is called the "exhaust manifold pipe including the exhaust flap control unit J883," but it is actually listed under that specific part number. When you enter the search term in quotation marks, my Google search results show a Facebook post listing that exact part. Attached is also a photo.

It can be seen that the control unit is a welded component inside the trouser leg. I think it's really stupid.
