Do a search on here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/index.php
Seems to me like the only good feedback is from customers within the USA, outside of there it's mostly bad.
I don't have any personal experience though!

I've bought parts from DRD. My experience was good.
An engine would be a different kettle of fish.....you're a long, long way away if you have any sort of warranty/guarantee issue.

DRD did sloppy work on some heads, incorrect valve to guide clearance, (too tight) took months to get my extra parts back.
never again. Art at ACE, Bergs and John. C at aircooled.net are far more reliable and answer emails. (but cost more) you choose! |
