Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to buy dealer parts online at all? Sometimes I've been able to find bits I need on eBay, but never all of the bits. There's also a couple of websites selling VAG parts, but again not all of the parts I've been after. 

 

There's a 50 mile round trip to the nearest dealer for me that I'd rather avoid if possible!

Hortons at Lincoln are great for this:

I just ordered a new Diverter valve from them £38 and free delivery arrived next day. Was cheaper than everywhere else.

Cheers for the link, the parts I've been after in the past have been nuts and bolts, plus the odd electrical connector - Hortons don't seem to have smaller things like that listed on their website, and I can't see where to contact them? 

 

I'm going to try ringing my local dealer to see if they'd be willing to post parts, I doubt it but it's worth a shot  

I'd try 01522 508665 looking at http://www.theskodashop.co.uk/article/show/14

Well found! I was looking for a page called "Contact Details" or something similar.

 

My local VW dealer (Inchcape) have said they're happy to post the parts to me, which is a pleasant surprise, so I'll be doing that in the future. 

Or use the Parts Service which ColinD has negotiated with Listers.

I 100% agree. Used various times for a simple bolt to lambda sensor. Always cheaper than dealer or TPS. Plus postage to your house

I didn't know about that service, looks good. Thanks for pointing it out
