VW not as big as i thought.

Well when you buy a car the following it has for parts and people can be good and bad, having had a VW before i thought i could not go wrong.  Only to find i hit a bump at the first try on getting a part.

Well to date i have posted about it but basically i did not have any power VW changed a sensor but still a problem the have told me i need a new exhaust complete from the turbo back? which sounds strange why it would all need replacing but the think the Cat is broken,

Now i think no probs until i can not get one unless its from VW and a nice price of £750.  i though i could look out and about from another independent garage etc but no one stocks the downpipe and CAT,,so a little sad ATM it's a MK5 GTI 55 plate with 30k FVWSH. 

Anyone else have problems getting parts,

Does your name have something to do with a famous Mitsubishi Racing Driver and the car you drive?

Claire you ment to say this didn't you?
Sorry Claire couldn't help myself forgive a bored bloke!

When you buy a car and the car needs parts, its like being the good, bad and Ugly, having owned a VW before I thought I really couldn't go wrong. But I find myself hitting a massive bump at the dealers on trying to get parts, well upto date I have all ready posted and moaned about it, but basically My car had no power when VW changed a sensor, but it was still FEKEd! They have explained me that I need a new exhaust system from the manifold to the back box? Which to me sounds absolutely strange why it would need a complete replaced system? But I reckon the Cat has broken, which is a real pain in the arse because unless its from VW at a nice price of £750 it feels like they are raping me hard. I though I could find aftermarket parts out there or find an independent garage to supply me with one etc but No Fekers stocks the dam downpipe and CAT! So a little bewildered trying to find these poxy parts at the moment. By the way it's a MK5 GTI 55 plate with 30k FVWSH. If anyone else has a good source or a contact to get me cheap ass parts, please let me know pretty please?
