HPFP Seal from TPS £9.34 in vat!!! WTF!!??
« on: December 13, 2013, 10:27:06 am »
HI Guys,

TPS have just delivered my HPFP seal and charged me £9.34 !!!!

Is this right? Its simply a blue rubber O ring about 30 mm across.

Geez, the driver should have been wearing a balaclava!!!

Shall I send it back and just get a suitable fuel friendly rubber O ring?

 :sick:

Certainly is.. and its def blue.. I presumed it was this colour as it would be fuel resistant rubber?

I payed £12 with the VAT earlier this week from VW! Absolutely stupid amount of money for what it is.

They come black on the pump.  Blue when ordered separately.  Yes that's the cost of them these days.

The one I ordered around 18 months ago was black but it's part number has now been superseded.
