I have had this too, I have to go to manchester Stockport or Preston to get my bits now rather than Bolton just down the road

It is a national decision not to sell 025 parts out of the passenger car places apparantly.

etos is still showing the cap as in stock, you just need to order it through a VW commercial place.
