Sean_H Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi all, My Mk5 .:R is currently in the bodyshop having two very nasty dents removed left after some tw&t/id!ot decided to drive into my car in a supermarket carpark and then drive off without leaving any details. Original post here It's been there for 2 weeks, but apparently is now sitting in the panel shop waiting on VW parts which they are being told are on backorder from VW Deutschland. Does anyone here know roughly how long I should expect to wait, and is there anything I could (perhaps source the parts myself) to attempt to speed up the process? Right now I am just keen to hurry this up and get the hell out of the dodgy 'Kia' rental car they have supplied me, and get back to my pride and joy Thanks for all ideas/comments...

Decked Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Have you got the part numbers? I have a mate who works for VW TPS. I can get him to do a search if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_H Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Not yet - am planning on ringing them a bit later and seeing they'll tell me what they are waiting on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decked Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 If you can get the part numbers I'll ask for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbucket Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 It took 3 months to get a replacement front shock for my mk4 last year so I hope your bits are quicker than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt R Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Gotta say looking at the damage, I keep most of that in stock, and I don't know of any bits like that on Backorder at the moment, maybe they are just buying time by blaming it on parts supply, it wouldn't be the first time I have heard it happen.
