You could probably remove the 3 parts & either delicately superglue or fit a new one

From memory, the knob just pulls off. That bit of coil showing is the retainer that secures the knob to the spindle. Pull that out with some needle-nose pliers and the broken bit of plastic will come with it. ECS Tuning has a replacement for a frankly outrageous US$69, though I suspect eBay will be somewhat cheaper (I just checked - it is, but not by much!). Part number is 8T0919070. There’s two versions - “A” has a long silvered skirt around the base of the knob, and “B” skips the skirt. Looks like yours is the B variant.

I can... The Official OEM swirl flap repair kits when I did mine on my 3.0 TDI were cheaper at the stealers than eBay....


But still £18 for that and you use the word only?! :)
