Major Service: Where best for parts?

Recommended Posts

The benefit of getting from ECP/GSF is that its local and the brake parts you need are likely to be in stock. If they're not the right ones, you can return them for a full refund and get the ones you need. Your best bet is to look what you have on the car at the moment. I went for the larger pad thickness when I last bought a set, and had no issues.

 

Cheers Sean

U know me, even if i measure i still get the wrong parts!!!

 

Want to get it right

As will ordered thn taking with me to Vag-hag to fit together,

The pas fluid from avs is febi stuff, but it's the correct specification Wayne, it's what I used in mine and the aqua I have. You can order online from Opie, just put the discount code in at checkout.

Search for user oilman. I think the standard discount code is in his signature. Alternatively just give them a call, they're very helpful so will apply the discount over the phone anyway mate.

Damn

Might have left it too late

Many deliveries are specifying at least a week!!!!

 

 

Sean: AVS wants £13 delivered for Febi

- eBay also £13 - so may risk eBay ...

 

Redline MT90 sells at 1 US Quart = 0.9L

@£20

So will need £40 delivered..

Found it!

Oilman (code: CORRADO) 10% off

Including delivery works out at £20 same as eBay!

 

But probably best to order from Oilman as safer :)
