Default VW parts

Does anyone have a suggestion on where to get OE parts? I need the intercooler tube that goes through the wheel well on the jetta. The local VW shop (VW and Subaru) is the rudest group of tree hugging spotted owl humping people I've experienced lately. Not only do they not answer the phone in the parts department, they refuse to make eye contact with me.
So, I'm looking for a different source for parts.

Germany?
If you need a contact with a german VW dealer- just let me know.
Volkswagen will be happy to take your orders. The sad thing is the Euro is about a 1.35$ so it might not be the cheapest. But you will get exactly what you need.

You also could try SAMCO silicon hoses. They have a huge variety of special preformed or universal hoses.

I wound up making one. 2.5", I'll call it an upgrade. After more research i was going to order one from idparts if I couldn't get what I made to work.

You should just re-plumb the entire IC system w/ 2.5" charge piping


BTW... how the hell is a subaru club full of tree huggers?? That almost sounds counter intuitive

I actually really considered re plumbing the whole system, but I'm in a pretty challenging semester at the moment and just needed it to work as quickly as possible. This summer I might just do the whole thing.

Good call. Get a nice FMIC while your at it too hehe. It's actually rather involving; upgrading the IC piping. Do you still have the egr?

Thats what i was considering along with the whole deal is a front mount. I do still have the egr. I've kept the car basically stock. If I deleted EGR I'd want rc tuning, then more and more and I'd have another hot rod I can't count on.

All the things I have done to my car and I trust it with my life. This thing has a much potential to break-down as a boulder... not very much.
I agree, once you do one thing, it leads to wanting to do more and more and more. Which is why I am where I am right now.
