Thats a fair amount of cash, give eurocarparts.co.uk a try. I women I knew took her 1.4 golf with a broken cambelt to my local stealers and was quoted £3500!!!! I advised her to  PSI tuning in  Stoke and Andy sorted it out for £1500, £2000 extra going towards that fancy showroom me thinks. :wink:

Not so, some parts are actually the same as OEM , you need to know what your looking for.

GSF stock OEM parts and replica parts made in China.  The guy at the counter will try and sell you the Chinese stuff first!  :angry:

I've got friends within GSF so i get them to get me the OEM stuff or tell me if it's the Chinese replicas
