	~~'''Cruz added'''~~

	Some members may not be aware that some parts listed by VW in the UK as obsolete are still in fact available from VW in Germany. Details are in the wiki under main dealers section, but that describes the process using the german language site. This is how to do it using the english version

	~~Go to the website http://www.vw-classicparts.com/~~

	~~Click Availability check on the right~~

	~~In new window click access without prior registration~~

	~~Search for part number (ie 253801252)~~

	~~If the part is still on file the search will list the part you want with a price in euros and a colour coding~~

	~~Green = Available~~
	~~Yellow = Limited availability~~
	~~Blue = Available shortly~~
	~~Red = No longer available (usually part is not found on searching)~~

	~~Select the quantity you require and add to cart~~

	~~Then click edit shopping cart, then click continue~~

	~~Fill in the availability request form fully including an email address~~

	~~VW Classic parts will then reply via email with a price quote including shipping~~

	You can then either reply with your credit card details (safer than debit cards imo) or ring them direct to order if your brave. I'm sure they speak sufficient English given the replies I have got from them in the past.

	~~I bought an o/s inner sill from them which worked out the same price as a n/s sill from the UK even with shipping.~~

	Note that many VW parts distributors are just ''franchised'' by VW UK, and some require presence in person to take a credit card payment of a back-ordered (Germany) part and appearance again to collect (usually from one to two weeks) - something to do with poor authentication practices in the past e.g. Wayside Parts in the Milton Keynes area insist on this. You should never be asked to pay more than the official ETKA price however they source the part, as there is only one price, which always seems to carry a big premium for those bits you cannot source easily elsewhere e.g. some oils seals (can be £17~£27 ea.), even some special bolts (£13/ea.!) They should always quote you the price over the phone and unless stated it will be ex-VAT.

	NB.

	''Major parts like some engines and gearboxes cannot now be obtained from VW. If you can avoid it, don't chuck away stuff like good gearbox casings (esp. syncro), engine blocks etc. Many smaller parts in good or serviceable condition now have an intrinsic value to someone, somewhere - club80-90 provides a medium for finding someone looking for that part and quite often, getting it to them quickly.''
