Ska Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Has anyone tried to get an OE part direct from Bosch? If so has the response been favourable? I'm thinking of trying to source an ECU and TCU from them... your recommendations and experiences with them would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie61 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 A pervious poster managed to get a VDO fuel pump through lucas for 1/3 of the price, i'm pretty sure Lucas are Bosch agents so it may be worth asking. the below text is the original posters reply For all those in the UK with this problem (cream crackered fuel pump), it is possible to get a replacement from siemens VDO. Audi try to sell you the pump and it's housing which sits in the fuel tank, but i chose to get a new pump and replace the old one whilst keeping the old housing. Seimens very kindly gave me the correct part number for the pump and pointed me in the direction of a local supplier. Lucas service (Bristol)(my local VDO supplier) sold me a new pump for one hundred and twenty pounds including VAT. Lets just say thats a lot better than six hundred. The part number for my vehicle's fuel pump is : 405-052-002-001G and the original failed at 85,000 miles if that helps anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulW Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks, here's a place that sells them for $101.39 each, I would think that's US dollars, but they also have a UK office, don't know. http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/Product.aspx?product=6834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
