Guest Supersparky Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi Guys I'm currently rebuilding a 1995 later engined 2.8 and i'm having trouble getting parts (and dont really want to pay genuine) any ideas. Ive tried GSF and they dont carry much for the later engines.I'm after big end shells, piston rings and a sump gasketRegards Mark Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Some ideas on the parts you are after would be good. Link to post Share on other sites
Saunders82 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 tbh as im finding out even with top discount most of the vr6 parts are shockingly expensive big end bolts retail at £8 each !!!! stuff like rear main is £35 it does make me cry alittle inside lol but you know they work i wouldnt trust pattern big end and main bearings or piston rings for the sake of say £20. Oh tps's round b'ham the direct b'ham one is a office above my one in milton keynes and doesnt deal with the general public lol i think there is one in wolverhampton and if you fancy a drive coventry.

Guest Supersparky Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys.I got quoted £26 per piston for rings and £4each for the big end shells Genuine VW, which i thought was expensive, But having had a look around, i maybe think thats actually an OK price.
