I have a code P2100 which points to the throttle body on my 2005 Passat TDI.

I am researching the part and I see several brands available besides the OEM route:

The two I have seen is Siemens VDO and Pierburg.

Are there any concerns using any of these alternatives?

There are just too many to list....
Siemens/VDO is who made the OEM one, which is now part of Continental Electronics. Pierburg makes an excellent replacement. Either one should be fine.
