For faster delivery and original quality I'd go straight to your local dealership's parts department, usually there similarly priced to eBay but you're guaranteed quality. In Ireland parts collection usually takes 2 working days (parts are shipped from the UK), so I'd expect it's next day or same day collection in the UK.
You can also go to Skoda dealerships, they sometimes sell the parts cheaper (or so I hear).
Best to call the parts departments of each just to get quote for prices, double check with them that they are quoting with VAT included, ask for estimated collection time, and then compare with eBay.
dazza:
As always thanks for all your help guys.
While I wait for parts to arrive I've been trying to clean up the mating surfaces.
I've seen some videos where people use 3m disks on the block. Any tips would be appreciated?
Octoparrot:
I'd avoid at all costs anything like abrasives that will throw gritty stuff everywhere, you'll never be able to get it clean down all the passages. Use a plastic or metal scraper.
terrier:
Look at 0000 grade wire wool or 3M non woven pads The white ones are the finest I think :thinking:
dazza:
I've ordered a carbide scraper. I think I have some fine wire wool. Will give it a go.
