Title: Cheapest place for genuine parts
Post by: TyGTI on October 28, 2014, 02:43:42 pm: Hello all!

Where have you found the cheapest place to buy genuine VW parts?

I am looking to do the cambelt/water pump/etc.

I used to own a Ford and there was a great place online to buy discounted genuine parts, anything like this for VW?

Thanks in advance

He mails stuff lots too so maybe worth giving him a shout. Let me know if you're stuck finding his number

If you can get a trade account with your local branch you will receive extra discount normally 2-8% on special order parts and 8 or 10% on service parts further discount is available for volume ordering.

She did ask if I was in the trade... I said no and she continued to sell me the parts anyway, they are waiting under the shelf for my collection :happy2:
