433.0. "Cheap VW spare parts." by AYOV18::GMCCULLOCH () Thu Jan 05 1989 19:16


	There is a company in London which supplies most volkswagen spares for 
about half their normal price. 

	The spares parts are not original volkswagen but are instead
British made replicas. 

	Does anybody have the address of this company.

                            
                            Gordon.

     There is a quality VW parts specialist called VEE-WEE with 2 branches,
     the address's are:
    
                  34 Acre lane
                  Brixton               Tele: 01-274-0082
    
                  and:

       I must admit I have not used them before but they offer  Quality
       parts with large discounts for all types.
       Also if you send off to them you can get a Privileged Customer
       card which gives you more discount as well.
       They are advertised in VW MOTORING and VW/AUDI MAGAZINE.
    
            Hope this helps,

433.5Be carreful with the no original partsTENERE::RAVIXFri Apr 06 1990 13:1221

    Hi !!
    
    If I can give you an advice, be carreful with the parts you want. If it
    is parts of engine DO NOT buy them if it is not the real vW
    manufacturer. If it is something like seat, lights, ... you can buy
    them because there are cheaper (It's just a copy but the finitions are
    not the same).
    
    I've got an experience with a PORSCHE 914 engine (a VW one of 1.7l).
    The first time I bought a cylinder head in a cheap shop which use to
    sell copy parts. I've paid 2.000 Fr. The car runs for 5 000 Km and the
    engine stopped. The first reparation, cost me 5 000 Fr. The second time
    I've bought an original one It cost me 3 200 Fr for the cylinder head,
    and I have to change one cylinder and one piston. Now I,ve had no more
    problems.
    
    
    	I hope this will help you
