Are Valeo OK for rads and water pumps ?
Fine, good company, good stuff.
OE on lots of French cars and have been creeping into the German stuff recently.
Lots of cars have valeo radiators, lights, clutches from the factory.

Re: quality parts manufacturers
I think I can safely speak for most of the fellow syncronauts that we only buy parts from simon, Vw or a few german Syncro suppliers as at least with these suppliers we know we are getting good quality partsorangebooboobearcrew wrote:At the risk of turning this thread into the Brickwerks appreciation society, I too can vouch for the products and service. Head and shoulders above the rest in my humble opinion - refuse to use JK now given numerous serious quality issues and poor service when I complained...

Re: quality parts manufacturers
I always regret it when I go for cheap GSF parts rather than Brickwerks quality.

Re: quality parts manufacturers
I think we all know the stuff from Brickwerks is top quality, but if you need it yesterday, it is handy knowing what not to buy from where.
Sadly the post seems to have been a tad de-railed .

Re: quality parts manufacturers
For those of us who buy in Euro and/or live outside the UK I'd like to give a honorary mention to http://www.kaefer-co.de/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Good selection, quick service, no dodgy parts (all OEM stuff as far as I can tell) and easy to deal with (by all accounts) should there ever be a problem. Been buying from them for four years ...never an issue or regret.
Only problem is, the website is only in German and you need to pre-pay
