Post by: vRS_Pagey on February 13, 2012, 10:44:46 am
Can these be genuine at that price?

I was loooking into some of these......got to be copies as the cheapest I seen for OEM was £98.00


I may be wrong, but is the set from VW direct around £100 ?

I thought it was that much for just the accelerator pedal?  Ironic that they are from the Czech Republic, but don't fit the Octavia vRS  :stupid:

The ad does say 'genuine' and they clearly have a VW badge, obviously the seller could be lying.  :sick:

Guessing ALL parts should have genuine VW part number stamped on them? get him to send a pic.

Czech / Lith etc. < have some good deals, but do convern me.

Im looking for a RNS510 C version < just not sure if I am comfortable getting one from over there - but could be wrong

I understand that ones from Lithuanian could be copies, but bear in mind they build the vRS in the Czech Rep, which means there is a good chance they will be genuine.

If you scroll down on the ad, there is a picture with a VW sticker and part number?  Also, worth looking at their feedback, they have sold quite a few of these pedal sets and the feedback is all positive.  :happy2:

Sounds like positive seller - you always have the option to dispute if you are not happy.

If it was me, Id email the seller for peace of mind < please can you confirm these are 100% genuine VW parts

TOTALLY GENUINE :happy2:

How do I know, I bought a set and have had them in my car for 2 weeks now. :happy2:
Fantastic price, no box or tool to release the accelerator pedal

Cheers Eddie, is it a special VAG tool for the accelerator pedal then or would a mechanic have it?

When it was offered as a retail kit it came a plastic tool to release the securing tabs. I just used a slotted screwdriver

Schweet, looks like swmbo's GT will be getting a spot of bling......

What is the retail price on this kit?

The retail kit is no longer available, it was around the £90 mark
To buy all the items individually is nearly £130
so the price on ebay is a steal, came within 3days when I ordered :happy2:
