Hi mate - really common problem on these, in fact I have only seen a couple where they have not cracked!! There is a forum in Germany where they were doing a group buy to have new dashes made but that would obviously be LHD. Its gonna be a case of finding an old one that has been kept in a garage where the sun can't get to it. If it helps, the same dash was used in the facelift from 77-79 so there is a wider scope for finding one.

I'm just gonna have mine patched up and covered in vinyl or flocked I think.

Same dash in the series 1 Passat but chances of finding one those in a scrapper are pretty slim as well.
