Does anyone else here source consumable spares for their Superbs outside the dealer network?
Of late, since my original 3 year warranty finished I been doing the minor regular servicing & found this web site in Australia very good for identifying part numbers & buying things like oil & air filters online. Original, OEM & after market parts stocked. Parts Navigator (http://www.partsnavigator.com.au)
It has a Sydney warehouse which seems to be responsive & reliable. It seems to me they are stocking stuff straight from the OEM suppliers to VW/Skoda. If one spends the time searching around it, it is interesting to discover the listings of vehicle models using the same part. In many cases, they are not unique to just VW, Audi or Skoda.
I'd be interested in any other parts supply sources others have found which offer same for less than VAG's Dealer extortion network.
