Thread: Need service parts for R32, good suppliers?

  1. 10-04-2012 08:04 PM #1
    Guys, who is the good vendor to get parts from for my R32?
    Need some awkward bits, like door lock mechanism, DSG oil filler tool, gas struts, spherical side mirrors and some consumables.

    I've always liked Avalon Motorsports. The owner's name is Brian...He is very knowledgeable, helpful and has competitive prices. Most parts aren't listed on his website but if you email or call in, they can get most parts including aftermarket performance products.

    Other than that, 034 Motorsports, OEM plus (I got my aspherical mirrors from them), four season tuning, amazon, your local service center...
    If your gas cap light comes on even if you think you tightened the cap, try pulling on the cap as you tighten it. Worked for me.

    Got Brians email?
    I am in Australia, Kangurus, Koalas even crocodiles are fine but local dealers here are not very friendly.

    Sure: brian@avalonmotorsports.com

    I didn't realize you were out of the country but I'd imagine he will sell you parts if you are willing to pay shipping.

    I find Keffer Volkswagen to be virtually unbeatable on most parts.

    www.keffervwparts.com

    Call and ask to speak to their internet parts guy if you have a sizable order. When I purchased over $800 in parts earlier this year they did me well and saved me a little more money.

    My alternate goto is www.1stvwparts.com, but they don't have online shipping quotes. I usually compare the two.

    I've used 1stVWParts as well. Even though they are local, their prices are only for online orders.

    So even with sales tax and shipping I find their stuff well priced.
