With as many hours as I have under my car, I'd say that its a complete
unbolt job. I could be wrong on this. I found that the Jetta we bought
had been in a front end collision and it was replaced this way. I see
lots of bolts on the body/crossmember like it simply unbolts and you
could bolt in a good one. 
HTH!
I'll be out under my Scirocco tomorrow and i'll take a closer look for
you.
