Title: Parts recommendations
Post by: AGGGTi on 18 February 2013, 17:21

Hi, just after some good part recommendations for front wheel bearings, abs sensors and lower balljoints or even if they are still main dealer stocked for late mk3 5 stud hubs (If that makes any difference). Just finding alot of aftermarket parts are becoming more and more poor quality and wanting decent bits for when i do a rebuild. Prices and companies/links would be great! Also good quality gearbox oil, any recommendations? Any help appreciated  :smiley:

Thanks

I use Europarts with the clubs 25% discount and never had any issues with quality although i've heard the body panels are a bit iffy, most people seem to recommend syntrax for your g/box but i've always used comma products and never have any problems.

Cheers, had given them a thought, but someone i know in the trade whos fitted their parts reckons he's forever having issues with them. Which is a tad off putting, maybe its just an over exageration! May give them a go, along with GSF. Unless anyone has any better ideas?

They do cheap stuff and OEM stuff, cheap stuff is more cheaply made OEM stuff is a bit more expensive.
Buy the OEM stuff and still save money over VW, use VW for the bits Euro's don't have and take your lube.

Awesome  :smiley: thanks, may drop in at the weekend then or have a look online when i get a chance and get some prices. As long as the stuff is oem quality im happy, just sick of Aut-x brake discs and Euroflow exhausts and the like with their hit and miss production quality lol
