I needed an air filter element for my '75 1800 kombi today, so went to my local Repco due to the lack of VW suppliers in my area. They quoted me $60!!! Needless to say I didn't buy one. In all fairness, the guy said to bring in the old one and he'd see if there was something cheaper that would fit, but I rang Mick Motors when I got home ... $17.05!!! :o

Someone must be making some major money off VW owners, whether it's Repco or their supplier I don't know, but its not right.

I had a similer problem with my 72 Ford Hardtop....(I know... but we have to start somewhere... And aleast it had only 2 doors!)
The missus rang up for a gearbox mount...
$35.95......
I said WHAT?
I rang up for one for a 4 door and it was 19.95...
SAME MOUNT!
Same part number!
:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing

Repco buy VW parts of Mick

Well they're making a hefty profit then!!
