Crank seal leaking on 09 Jetta twin charger

[Transporter]

Understand that these are a seal within an (I assume) alloy housing but 40 plus years in the truck and bus spare parts business, many of those spent dealing with major German OE and aftermarket suppliers tells me that there is an enormous profit margin built into these items at that sort of price.

Of course there is. Just compare the price of new cars now and in the 2000. The materials, labor cost and electricity all went up dramatically, though the price of the cars went down. Car manufacturers have to make profit somehow. Nobody is/never was, in a business just to please others.
