Just because I'm wary of companies online have a look at lllparts operating address at the bottom of the front page, and google street view.  :whistle:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lllparts/@51.5257884,0.0539195,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47d8a76f78a95555:0x6ef2ebacc070aa03!8m2!3d51.5257851!4d0.0564944!16s%2Fg%2F11rwwf8q6_?authuser=0&entry=ttu

The other company I couldn't find an address to view, not saying either are bad...


I've used LLL & E-Acca several times with no issues at all.

Both are legit suppliers, E-Acca is quite popular with the Americans over on VW Vortex who want to access Euro spec parts.

I recently bought a new fuel filler actuator, a door check strap & all new related fixings for much less than even TPS.

 Like Jace I have used LLL parts several times and found the prices for oem parts very competitive.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

I'm after a new (where possible) replacement passenger side front wiper arm (5G2955409) as mine has started to corrode and bubble down where the hinge is (plus a bit up by the wiper blade attachment).

Seems to be a costly item for what it is, has anyone tried this company from the Czech Republic?

https://www.oemvwshop.com/

Currently saying they have them for 54 euros delivered.

Is it pot-luck with any import taxes now?

If I had to I don't mind going to a good breakers for a genuine part but I've found the pictures to be very hard to check especially on part that is black - anyone have a recommendation for a good VW breakers that do online?

Wiper arm - hope this helps: https://www.deutsche-parts.co.uk/5g2955409-dif-wiper-arm-new-genuine-part.html

£43.78 plus postage.

They are a good company. Have used them often (plus LLLparts without any problems).

Thanks, I saw that one and am very tempted but if possible I wanted to find a genuine unmarked one.

LLL parts have a new one for a tenner more - I used to buy from Europe a lot pre-B without any issues so I hoping this would be ok.
