Title: Mk2 Parts Obsolete at VW

Why oh why oh why....

It seems everytime I go into VW lately for a bit for my Mk2 they are no longer available!

Anyone know why this is?

A manufacture only has to supply parts for 8 to 10 years, I have been finding more and more parts obsolete for my mk3 lately.

I can understand that Wayne, they have closed loads of ship building companies over the years. Must be a nightmare for MK3 owners!

The list of things not obsolete is the one I use for the Rado as it's much shorter than the list of things that are.
