Mine let go at the turbo (flared fitting came loose). $62 for the part, another $10 or so for various fittings I probably didn't need and a free 65 km tow (thanks CAA!).

I messed up - the price I paid was $68, not $62. The part was listed as "Oil pipe 028145771BC" on my service invoice from Alliston VW. It is quite possible that this is an aftermarket part - Alliston VW is the only VW dealer I know of that has no problem recommending and installing aftermarket parts if it's in their customer's best interest. I don't know if they'll sell you aftermarket parts to install yourself, though.
