Cam follower?
« on: February 06, 2017, 06:36:54 pm »
Hi guys,
Just been looking to buy a cam follower to get it changed, is tps and the dealers the only people that sell it?
Can't seem to find it on any parts shops sites
Thanks

Think I'd stick with an OEM one.
Think Cardiff vw place sells them on EBay.

Get a genuine one.  There are too many cloned parts out there these days to take the risk.

Genuine one on eBay is like £33 delivered. Why take the risk to save £8!?  :doh: :thinking: :laugh:

GSF and Euro car parts generally only sell pattern parts.

If you want genuine parts, 9 times in 10 it's the dealer or TPS.

few eBay adds from dealers sell them too for slightly cheaper than going to the dealer or tps to save a few pounds  :happy2:
