OllieVR6 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Hey everyone. I'm needing to get a new heater matrix, and remember reading that ebay ones should be avioded due to being cheap rubbish, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this company: http://www.veedubmachine.co.uk/index.ph ... ucts_id=96 They have they for an excellent price, but I have had no reply to an email asking if they are genuine parts or if not, who makes them. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Neil- 0 Posted March 16, 2009 £12.75!!! I'd stay well clear at that price! I went to GSF and they quoted two prices, one at £24 and one at £43, i went for the more expencive as i dont want to replace it again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah I don't really want to be doing this job again, so thought it was best to check. I went to my local GSF on Saturday but got there at 2.05 and they close at 2 :( I'll give them a call and see what they have in stock. EDIT - Sorry, just saw the matrix thread further down, this can be locked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 16, 2009 I wouldn't buy anything other than genuine VW - it's one of the most important items in the car in terms of passenger safety! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruny 0 Posted March 19, 2009 Stealers quoted £105 for exactly the same part supplied by local motor factors for around £50, make sure its a ValeoMatrix 004.JPG[/attachment:3fha1vsv] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiller1 0 Posted March 19, 2009 I have just done mine last weekend, i used one from GSF it was a Hella (Beah) one. They either used this type or Valeo from factory. I payed £29.27+ vodka & tonic! The one that i took out was a cheap one that was fit last august, pre me owning the car, so i would definately buy the better quality one! Part no is 1h2-819-031b (uro number is 8-56829). Hope this helps. Booth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
