My local in Burton TL Darby. Have quoted me £169 for a set of genuine valve stem seals. Can I get genuine cheaper anywhere else??  I saw Elring ones on ebay,but they seem too cheap to be true.  I obviously only want to replace once, so don't want to risk putting in anything other than genuine dealer recommended parts.

 

Does anyone know who manufactures the genuine ones for Vw/Audi/Skoda??

If you look up the parts on skoda.7zap.com you can click on the link and it will tell you who makes them.

I'd normally research you a link but I'm working on.my phone and it's a bit challenging with my eyes ...

It could be worse, check this bargain out, spotted while searching ebay for 036109675A after finding that genuine ones from LLL parts are £6+ each:

Don't see his hand being bitten off for those 8! 🤣

At a quick glance, the part number I think should be 036 109 675 A don't take that as gospel

 

Thanks to the power of google these days and lots more information being posted online it makes finding parts so much easier

It's not for me to say which set you should buy, and if you google the part number even more websites will pop up, maybe one will tell you VAG tend to fit XYZ brand at factory.

Skoda-parts.com seem to be suggesting that Elring are an OE supplier:
