Unfortunately being aluminum, it's a TIG or heli-arc weld. Kind of a specialty. You may yet find a machine shop or welding shop to do it. I don't know. Try to get it as clean as possible for them, and remove it obviously so they can get to all sides of the part.
I don't know how much success they'll have. As noted it is high pressure. Whoever does it for you deserves a case of beer plus his fee, for trying such a tricky repair.

Anyway, FCP Groton carries the parts for ALL import vehicles, so I'd bet they can get these at a pretty good discount as well. They get what? $200 for a Volvo condenser- Volvo lists them at $450 or so. There may be similar savings for your VW.

Good luck.
