Help get obsolete parts re-introduced via VW Classic Parts!

Recommended Posts

On http://www.vw-classicparts.de there is an option to request obselete parts to be reproduced. This is why, being a German brand/website, you will find lots of Corrado LHD bits and barely any RHD ones.

 

Heres how we can try and get RHD parts reproduced;

 

- Request on this thread what parts you want to be introduced (they must definately be obselete, don't post on hearsay)

- Other members will source the part numbers via ETKA and we will post it on the first post of this thread, along with status and whether its available via Classic Parts or not.

 

This is where we need you. It will be your responsibility to visit the link on http://www.vw-classicparts.de and send them a message via the 'Request a Part' link. Make sure you provide part numbers, asking that the parts be re-introduced for your restoration/daily car/whatever!

 

Please note that any changes in status will be noted here, do not ask them for parts that are already available via them. It may be wise to check the numbers via the 'availability check' just before you email.

 

The idea is that if we can get some decent numbers requesting the same parts we can finally get hold of parts which are becoming much harder to source :)

Great thread. How does this process work, do they need a certain amount of requests? What are the chances of parts going back into production?

Just to clarify the rear number plate plinth, they are available on vw-classic parts so if they are on there they are not available at main dealers anymore.

 

To get production started they do need a trigger point to run a batch through although you may find they charge a premium compared to the old prices; for instance the outer door seal strips that run along the top of the door cost roughly what they did before they went obsolete, a G60 radiator is now double what it used to cost.

 

For me it would have to be the little black screw cover caps that go in the screws on the doorcards.

do they still sell late headlight lenses?

 

when i last got one the chap was telling me there wasn't many left

 

They've always been available mate - they can't tell stock status, he just meant in the UK as thye always keep a central stock of things like this as they are 'consumables'

 

Guys - we really need to keep this thread to things we know are obselete rather than flooding it with questions.

Vr6 Radiator Cowling (not sure if available or not)

the fan cowling?

 

if so i picked one up from VW easily enough(albeit it did have to get ordered from Germany) late last year

You might be able to use the cowling from a MK3 Golf VR6. It's plastic and a little taller, but I reckon it could be adapted to fit.

List updated with Part Numbers and current status :)

 

Mods; Can this be stickied anywhere?

 

Everyone else: Remember to email Classic Parts. If we can get 100+ people emailing them over 6 months we could get some long waited for parts re-introduced :clap:
