Hi all.I hope i'm not posting this in the wrong category so please spank me hard if i am !.
Although i'm an avid Ebay enthusiast i cannot seem to find the right set of tappets for an AGG 2 litre Golf,96 model.Just wondering if anyone knows of a good supplier,maybe with a link ???.

Europrats sell Febi Bilstein tappets, probably you're best bet

As far as i know ALL the engines of that age used the same lifters, VW are the best, but pricey, never had issues with the ones on ebay.   Euro car parts and GSF also sell them, they are cheaper than VW obviously and are probably better than ebay ones.

The Febi ones are excellent.
