Jim 1 Posted May 22, 2015 I have to say when they setup VW classic parts I wasn't sure VW's heart was really in it longer term. But checking the site infrequently, I'm always quite surprised at how many new parts are being added all the time. Starting to wonder if VW are really taking this seriously and are going to make a real effort to keep up with the likes of BMW/Merc to help keep our old cars on the road?

Jim 1 Posted May 22, 2015 Yep. I mean the whole scheme in general as obviously Heritage are agents for VW Classic Parts in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted May 22, 2015 Yep. I mean the whole scheme in general as obviously Heritage are agents for VW Classic Parts in the UK. i see & yes i agree it does seem encouraging my only gripe is that their prices do seem to be rather errm, well, inflated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah it's strange. Going through the catalogue, some stuff you think is surprisingly cheap - and some stuff you think HOW MUCH?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going through the catalogue, some stuff you think is surprisingly cheap - and some stuff you think HOW MUCH?! ha ha ha indeed m8!! & then you literally fall off your chair when you ask them for a quote as the delivery charges are phenomenal with the sill repair panel i mentioned the carriage was TRIPLE the cost of the part lol i felt very lucky to have a contact from heritage on here as they got it for me & i paid zero delivery, as my order was above their FOC threshold :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted May 22, 2015 How much was the sill repair section? errr let me check....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted May 22, 2015 How much was the sill repair section? hi m8 ive found the reply from anna about the section, copied below for you: C535-809-848 comes up at £39.87 plus VAT. Clasic parts take 2-3 weeks to come in from point of order as we order a large batch at a time each week, that includes being booked in here. As long as your order totals over 35 its free delivery.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 22, 2015 I got these from there, Through Anna Only cost about £80-90 for the pair delivered, was real chuffed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted May 23, 2015 My problem is the way we have it implemented in this country, go to the states and Germany and you order the parts through the dealer network - no extra postage or a middle man to pay for yet we ended up with a third party as VW UK don't give a chuff. However it is good to see the option at least even if it is a means to offload old parts and make some cash for VW whilst seeming to do the 'right' thing.
