VW Parts - Gold Coast QLD

[YellowLemon]

Hi!

I just got totally ripped off on parts for my VW at
Volkswagen Gold Coast Southport (James Frizelles)
for example, $150 for 5L Longlife III Oil ($75 at my last dealer,or $15/L)
and $200 for the fuel filter for a T5 (!)

Where do you guys get parts from locally?

Doesn't help you now but if you google that number or stick it in ebay, there's tons for less than half the price you paid.

Pretty sure you can buy some compatible oil outside the dealer too.

Yes that's right, when I can be bothered I order oil from Harold at Performance Lub for less than half that price (~around $15/L) and parts from wherever, but with all the official VW parts places I've dealt with before, I've only ever paid maybe 10-20% more - sometimes with the hassle I just like to get it all at one place (and I can be sure it's not cheap chinese copies).

But yeah this place was ridiculous. I should have taken the hint when I went in there and they were selling HUYUNDAI and JEEP parts as well, from the same counter ?!!?... not sure if they are even an official VW dealer or what the go is there....

I use HSY however they only sell to trade customer unfortunately. There's always Ashdown, repco and bursons aswell mate. Never ever buy oil from a dealer, complete rip off.

Cheers there is a Bursons nearby actually I might try there next time. I think they can get the filters and stuff in too.

$150 bought you two 5L bottles, right? If so, that's fairly cheap.

Although the fuel filter retails for about $90.

[YellowLemon]

No: $150 for 1x 5L bottle! Insane. $300 for 10L. At my previous VW dealer it was $75 ex GST. I didn't realise individual VW dealer franchises set their own parts prices with such massive variation. (These quotes are both from official VW dealers on the VW Aus website) Too bad there is only 1 VW dealer group on the entire Gold Coast, I might see how some of the Sth Brisbane dealers set their prices too just for interest.

Yeah, that is pretty high.

Normally it's around $100 from VW.
