Just wondering which autofactors/garages u guys buy your leads from would like to keep it OE but 80squids seems a bit ridiculous for a set of HT's!!!
Prices, Contact Details/Locations please....
I'm in Macclesfield Cheshire but guessing most places will post!
Cheers

GSF Car Parts, make sure to ask for the German made ones, used to be Beru but I think they are called B&B or something now. Will cost about £30. Basically the same leads that you'd get at VW for stupid money. I was once quoted £30 PER LEAD from a VW dealer.
-
Cheers dude,
Will give them a look see... gonna get ma plugs from there neways so thats all good...
ordered dizzy cap, rotor arm and air filter from gilb law earlier came to bit under 40incl. vat so not too major!
Any recomendations on front pads... just got some standard vag front discs so need to get sum pads to go with them...
-
I've used Ferodo DS2500s to good effect in the past.
-
Yep BBT's I think they are from GSF. I bought some a couple of months back and they were under £30 without VAT. German and an OE supplier so good enough for me. They know me well enough in there now not to try and pedal me shite!
-
yreah that's it BBT not B&B!
I knew it had some bees in it somewhere
-
sound lads... will get her some ordered next week!
If i order online can i specify i want decent (german/oe) stuff surely they wud be sold at dif price etc...
-
AGHHH!
GSF Manchester cannot offer me anything on the HT Leads front....!!! Help me people!! mine are fooked!!!
-
GSF Manchester at Trafford Park? How about the Swinton branch? Or Euro Car Parts in trafford park?
-
will have a call around... u wudda thort their (gsf) computer systems wud be linked tho wunt ya!!!
-
they usually are, I've been in GSF Swinton (my local one) before and asked them to check stock at trafford park. Maybe they just couldn't be arsed? The guys in swinton are pretty helpful I find.
-
well gonna have a shop around will try my local autofactors...
does anyone know if the G40 vag leads are actually any different from the vag leads for the GT?!?!
-
leads for all mk3 polos are the same
-
so if i go to VW and ask them for 1.3 mpi coupe or something they're gonna give me the exact same leads as the genuine g40 ones but under a different part number?!?!?! I'll just do that if thats the case!!! Or jus go to halfrauds...
-
no they'll give you the same leads under the same part number for the same price!
Not sure I'd use halfrauds ones, I don't know what the quality will be like. just order some from GSF website, or get your local GSF to order them in, usually get them the day after.
-
if ur 100% on that haysey they al jus order some random mk3 HT's they cant possibly ask that much for a 1.0 mk3 polo u cud buy bout 20 1.0 mk3's for that money lol! Might aswell see what they come back with! bet there just taking the piss out of me with G40 Tax!!!
-
not what they told me, same part code = same price. The guy in th VW dealership even told me it was a stupid price but not much they could do and hinted that I should go to somewhere like ECP or GSF.
