GSF do a 40%discount most weekends but I dot have one close enough anymore.

When ever I've priced GSF against ECP, even with this high discount, ECP usually wins...
However CP4L is always worth a try for a bigger order as they discount more, the larger the order, and usually better both GSF & ECP.
(None of them are near enough to me to collect from)

Why? It All appears to be the same parts to me?

I got a t belt kit for £64 off GSF but maybe that's because I was a trade customer back then.

CP4L?
German Swedish French

Websites selling car parts, apparently CP4L are owned by the same company as Eurocarparts but slightly cheaper prices. :happy2:

I'm only going by what a master technician of vw told me as he now owns his own garage now. Told me the part is the same from more or less all the places only difference being the level of cover if the part fails

But surely he just mean if vw fitted the part and then it failed vw would cover the entire cost? Can't see how buying from vw then a back street garage fitting it then it goes bang and vw come along and fix your broken engine. That's all am saying, I maybe wrong :happy2:

Very good point when I get I done next month I will double check, quite possibly miss interpretated what was said

Thanks Octoparrott.

Anyone have an idea which brand to choose when buying a water pump?
