Hi Everyone,

 

Sorry if this info is already available somewhere but does anyone have the part no to hand? Looks as though mine has a hole in. Do people go for a genuine part or is there a better aftermarket alternative?

I am assuming that you are referring to the Aircon condensor as I doubt your vehicle has a Kettering ignition system.

 

I bought an OE Nissens one for £30 something, a fraction of the cost of the Skoda part via TPS, as they supply the OE it may not be any better but will not be worse.

 

 

Thank you. Yes sorry I did mean the aircon condenser.

 

Where did you get the OE Nissens one - TPS?

Ebay.

 

TPS only sell genuine VAG parts supplied by VAG.

I can’t see anything on eBay cheaper than around £165!

Possibly suitable?
