Apart from thermostats. Ive replaced two with ones supplied by ECP, and both have been faulty on receipt. Got one from VW and now all good.  :smiley:

Can't comment on parts quality as they'd only ship to my cardholder address which isn't much use as I work during the week :(

Sorry,

Thats been company policy for the past 2 years for insurance purposes. Since we launched Click & Collect - The amount of customers complaining dropped heavily, however there are still a few we cant help.

However, if you are a long-term forum member, drop me a PM and we'll sort something out :)

WTF...... I've just been to eurocarparts... asked for a set of HT ignition leads for my AGG Gti 8v Engine....

They guy looks on his computer.... goes and gets the leads. great. £20.70..... I go home....

I pop the bonnet to fit the leads....and find the Coil lead to the dizzy cap is too small in this set .... ohh great. Another 6 mile trip back to EurocarParts, I asked the guy 'I specifically asked for AGG leads' he said these are the ones for your car 'so the computer says'. I said... no they say 2E and ADY... the coil lead is too small.

he checks afew other part numbers and finds a proper AGG set..... but there is no Coil Lead supplied with it??? All other sets for other engine codes have the coil lead supplied.

so i decide to take my money and run.

Does anyone know exactly what part number i need for my AGG engine and if the coil lead is supplied aswell.

ARGH!!!!

I got these Beru ones from vwspares recently to go with Beru sparks:-

http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=63

Great quality and fit.

My last ones were from ecp (forget which make) and when I was last at an independent VW garage the mechanic he said they were cheap and poor fitting.

Have had good stuff from ecp, just make sure you go for branded stuff
