Volkswagen Golf V - Teves Mk60 ABS/ESP - guanders

Hello,
I have a 2008 Golf V with the common Teves Mk60 ABS/ESP problem. The local dealer has identified that the unit needs to be replaced.
I have read this forum and found that this has been a known fault for some time. I live in Norway and this takes place in Norway. Searcing the web I can not find similar issues in Norway. The dealer, and the Norwegian importer, both tells med that i will have to pay 8-9000 NOK, about £800 for this. Before doing that I would very much appreciate any respons as to how this has been handled in other countries than UK, if anyone have this knowledge.
