I just visited the local vw dealer and to my surprise both VW521/4 and VW388 are still available and are affordable at 123€ for the two tools.the dealer explained that special tools are normaly not to be sold to the general public but since i had no commercial use for these tools it wasn't a real issue!
Thanks VW
