I deal with the guy all the time. Top notch Ebayer, good parts but not always VW stamped.

bought. only leaves the rad, i heard the gsf ones aren't that good so i will bite the bullet and get one from tps. should i be sitting down when i make the call?

I'd get a VW stat & make sure you test it in a pan of boiling water first ;)

i got a neuspeed stat. the one in that kit will be a backup, but i will do as you say. i dont fancy taking all that apart again with the front end back on

Get yourself a water pump too - may as well do it all in one go. From experience leaks tend to move to the next weakest spot once you have fixed them! Hope your matrix is strong..

 

Rads are about £250 retail inc VAT from a dealer, so not really *that* bad

@ jakegti

 

Why don't you ask this guy. I reckon £60 - £70 and its most likely the original supplier to VW if can source one.
