    should use a generic 3 bolt flange gasket near the steering rack assuming you have the stock exhaust, i find using a sealant like Maniseal works awesome

    Not worth shopping overseas for such small order.

    I just used that pic to show what they look like.

    Typically GAP won't accept an order below USD100 for international shipping in any case.

    ANy of your friendly local VW parts places should have them.

    Tooleys would be able to post you a set.

    Worst case VW spare parts department will have them, they're the same as on the MK3.
