Default Sharan Wiring

Wonder if anyone could help...
I was refered to the Volksforum by VWVortex as no-one could help me on that forum.
My folks have a 2001 2.8l V6 Sharan.
They have had the car for about a year with no problems.
The other night they went out and all of a sudden smelt burning wires. they managed to get the car home and disconnected the battery. We had a look at it on the weekend and discovered that the short had occured in the "multi function unit" located on the drivers side above the fuse holder. (VW refer to as the Control Unit. Part No 7 M3 962258M)
We pulled this unit out and found that the previous (idiot?? ) owner had fuse S190 (one of the fuses on the Multifunction unit) fuse. Instead of fixing the problem he simply soldered a piece of wire across the terminals.

The multi function unit is damaged and VW want R13 000.00 for a new one .
I can look for a second hand one from a breaker yard (but I dont know if Im going to have much luck with that.)
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for this unit or know if I could find one somewhere?

Any help is appreciated
Thanks
