Title: What is the best online resource to obtain VW OEM Parts?
Post by: berg on December 06, 2010, 10:20:59 pm

I want a website where you can simply type the part number in and hey presto it will tell you how much, not a site that wants my mother's maiden name, my shoe size and whether I have had my five a day! :confused:

Thanks in advance

Why not just ring up either the dealer's part's division or TPS? Just as easy if not easier because you can at least try and get a trade price on the parts as appose to the unmovable fixed web price.

yeah have rung dealers parts division just wanted to see what was online. What does TPS stand for? I saw another thread where people had mentioned them as selling to the public as well as the trade but not sure who they are!

Trade Parts Specialist. They provide parts at trade prices, in theory only to the trade, but in reality to the public as well, depending on their mood/weather/time of the month.
