Finding a part
Maybe this has been mentioned before but...
I needed a part. It was unavailable/no longer made. Checked aircooled.net, mamotorworks, etc. Rebuilt part available from big internet VW site. Bought it. Didn't work right. So on a whim I typed the bosch part number into Google. Up popped a backwater autoparts store (and I mean backwater as in swampy area of US). They have 3 NEW ones, for a price less than what I paid for the rebuilt. Is this for real???? I may be a sucker, but I ordered one. As more and more small parts stores put their inventory online it may get easier to locate these orphan parts. Least I hope so. Ted--Sacto |
