Obtaining difficult items for the C

[Rams 0]

Hi all

 

I've been using a company that supply oem VW parts to VW themselves, its for trade customers only and certain club groups. I've been going there often for all my bits....

 

I last bought a bundle of trip clips that are more or less impossible to buy from VW now. I suggested that he could do well if I could give him a list of parts people need and struggle to get. I also wanted some caliper springs which he had to order in. The local dealer were out of stock too. so there are a few pairs available for the 288 calipers, possibly others but know not all calipers use the retaining springs.

 

So what are people after and I will see what he can do?? Worth a try

I don't mean to be funny but that's a bit vague, there's a whole bunch of items going obselete from VW for the Corrado and similar age VW's now,

a large number, but not all, are trim items that are rarely bought and so VW simply discontinue, such as small plastic covers for the dash cluster surround and in particular 'early' parts that were restyled in the 1992-ish facelift models, lights etc. Thern there's items like the 16v fuel lines.

Dealers can be a bit useless too, some will say items can't be obtained when actually they are still available.

But I'm sure people will provide their own list of items they've tried and failed to get recently.

Im just trying to be helpful , I didnt think to much about it when posting it to be honest. However, like you say some dealers proclaim they can not obtain items when they can. The chap I deal with suggested I gave him a list and he would see what he could source and for a good price.

 

I was expecting some random items to come forward..... so if I can help even 1 person out, its worth it.
