even seat superceed some parts, example say a valeo part becomes obsolete, a bosch one can be the replacement, different manufacturers same use and final outcome.

and I'm sure tons of independant garages will use the cheapest part they can get their hands on and its law that using an independant garage cannot invalidate your warranty.

Not quite right.

Warranty will only be honoured if serviced at a non dealer if the garage has used VAG parts. A main dealer doesn't have to do the work, but genuine parts must be used.

why did you fit one in the first place?placcy one failed?

It seems to have a problem, yes.
I made a mistake in phoning the insurance co. in the first place. But I did learn something interesting. Some policies have limits on the number of mods/optional extras you can have. If you go over the limit then they add loading to the policy. They are classing the dump valve as a mod.
I tried to explain it was a like-for-like part, and actually more reliable than the standard one.
I doubt very much whether I'll be renewing the policy.
