depending on what your looking for and if you have a part number... www.worldimpex.com or www.autohausaz.com or www.germanautoparts.com can get you about anything, and all OEM... type in the p/n and if they can get it, usually it comes up. I always compare impex's prices though against the dealer, sometimes they are less, sometimes they are more. Impex is your best bet intially i think.

um,,,sorry to say but,,,igot turned off from impex when they wanted 120 a hole for the rings  on my tdi buildup,,i ended up finding them for 18 a hole,,,so impex can blow me all night the way i like it ,,but thats just my opinion :shock:

For genuine VW parts that are cheaper than Impex, try this place:
http://www.1stvwparts.com/

I recently completed an order through them, and was pretty pleased.  Be warned that their online ordering system was a little flakey when I used it though.  I was in the final stages of an order when it unexpectedly and with no warning aborted me out to the home page.  Previously to that, my shopping cart kept getting emptied without my request.  I called them up on the phone to see if my order was recorded, it wasn't, so I entered it over the phone which worked OK.  The guy I spoke to, "Zeke", seemed pretty nice.  My order arrived well packaged and in a timely manner.  I would use them again.

Like I said...they are good on some things...not on others. They are the closest to the dealer on the aftermarket and compete with them for that reason... I ended up with mine through www.germanautoparts.com for the Goetze rings at a good price too. Still will compare on some things. The price p/ hole is still slightly less than dealer but most other places can't do much better either. Alot of the others get pieces in stock but once they are sold out they are forced to sell at that price until the manufacturer can resupply at the lower price again.

yeah i've tryied to find the $18 ring set too and the guy blake bought from says they are outa stock..argh $18 vs $120 ..big difference..so my engine has the stock 150k rings and bearing it it..should be fine...

www.germanautoparts.com didn't show them in stock, but I was able to call them and get the OEM's for 20/hole....
Very good source to call if you need them in the future...

at the time,i found  2 or 3 sites with the 20$ rings,,ipaid like 250 for new valves from them,after that i started pricing stuff more carefully ,,felt robbed cause ifound them cheaper too after the fact,, they didnt even lubricate it first before sticking me, i wouldnt use them (impex) unless no one else had anything anywhere,basically a last resort,but like i said,jus myopinion :oops:
