The trend in modern automotive engineering and architecture of assemblies and units is to bind as many consumables as possible into one unit, solder, glue, make them indissoluble. This is understandable. It is more profitable for the manufacturer to sell parts in modules, not individually. It is more advantageous for us to replace one gasket, than to change the whole assembly. The same story with the gas pump on the Skoda Octavia III (A7).
