Title: VW specialist East London
Post by: OldGTI on December 22, 2020, 09:55:27 pm

Hi all,
Can someone recommend a VW specialist in East London or London. I normally go direct to VW but I want the oil pickup changed and a AKS balance shaft freewheel added and VW won't do this.

Thanks,
Al

Is Croydon too far? Tuningwerkes are there.

Try AMD Essex? I've used them for servicing stuff and they've been really good.

Not always the cheapest, but it's easy enough to get to (right by Ikea Lakeside) and a train back to London is quick and cheap.

Hope this helps,

Mind telling me how much they quoted you for that work? I'm looking to get the freewheel and the pickup done fairly soon too.

Thanks
