which vr6 splitter is the best to buy???

[Callum_K]

The Eurowagen ones (or anyplace else that sells the ones made by Retov) are the only aftermarket ones that last a good while, but while flexible, they still break eventually. Mine is holding up fine but that's cos I'm not too low. It scrapes on speedbumps etc which it will handle, but they will shatter with any major impact!

Retov are Argentinian and a pita to deal with, if anyone knows where they are moulded in europe I can spec and supply material that will not break, even possible to do colours.


I am after a new one as I cracked the OE part the other week grrrr

Just bite the bullet and get one from dealer. I had a cheap one and it smash within an hour. Genuine one still goin strong.

The amount you go through, you may aswell get the proper part. ~£65

I agree, you pay for what you get

You are right but there is no other reason than greed as to why the feckers break so easily, the right material is only £5 per kg.
The ones you buy off the net are just floor sweepings and regrind with extra black masterbatch, VW ones are just virgin material with an ISO qms system in place.

Ive just got one made by Retov and I'll see how that goes for a bit. If it breaks I'm going to vw.

Anyone know the part number just for future reference?

Tried several now and the Eurowagens one feels like a better quality item than the others.

How many? At what cost?

Buy cheap pay many times.

Cheapo ebay one lasted a few days..same with a GSF one which wasn't cheap.... Eurowagens one is doing well and only £17.... to be fair the first one went when i was driving like a tw*t  and stones in the road claimed the second one...EW one seems to cope better and it feels heavier and certainly fits well.
