VW Factory Spare Parts
Does anyone have the web address for the VW factory NOS shop
Apparently the VW museum have a spare parts outlet attached to it where they have NOS stuff that they have collected back from dealerships over the
years.

what happened to all the spares from Australian dealers?
I know that Volksbahn got a lot of parts from that VW factory in Venuzuela years ago..
I don't know what they actually got although I did buy a pair of VW mudflaps off Vic and they had made in Venuzuela on them

Lee a lot of stuff from the Australian VW headquarters were thrown out over the years. Remember that unlike Germany, the UK or the USA, Australia's
VW operation went through a series of different third-part owners.
When VW Germany gave up local manufacture and disbanded 'Volkswagen Australasia Ltd' in 1968, Sydney's LNC Industries gained the national VW
franchise. 30+ truckloads of parts were shipped from Clayton to Sydney (the parts HO was at Lanock Motors St Leonards), but most of the historic stuff
- records, signage, files, machinery and lots of parts - were sent to the Dandenong tip. Read the Davies' book 'VW Australia The Forgotten Story'
they go into some detail about it.
LNC's new head office at North Ryde became the new parts storage facility in 1971 and Lanocks St Leonards moved all the national parts inentory up
there. This was also shared with Audi, and later Subaru, Renault, Lancia and Fiat.
LNC Industries lost the Australian VW franchise in 1987, and again there was a big cleanup and throw out. Boxes and boxes of parts were thrown out -
some of them dumped into the harbour off North Head (!) Talk to Steve Muller - he made some valiant efforts at the time to rescue as much as he could,
but only got a fraction of what was disposed of. Likewise, many of the old dealers had gone out of business by the mid'80s and were either raided by
collectors or cleaned out and sold off. All the former NSW dealers of the '60s, for example, have already been visited. There were plenty of closed
VW dealers full of forgotten parts in the late '80s - I went to several myself - but none in 2012.

i think a dig at Dandenong tip would be far more fruitful. i'd imagine most of the paper based stuff would mostly be too far gone but the metal and
plastic stuff... unless of course they burnt the rubbish then it's most likely all f*#ked.

Apparently North Head was a common dumping ground for years, up to the 1980s at least. I have actually dived the site - Pro-Dive at Drummoyne used to
take students there for dives as the bottom is only 25-30 m down and there was an amazing array of man-made junk to see. The Army must have used it to
dump materiel - I remember swimming up to a silt and weed-covered Jeep sitting on the bottom, and could float into the driver's seat and sit down.
The water off North Head only has around 5m visibility most days and tidal currents running both ways. I didn't see any VW parts the day I dived it
but it would be fun doing a systematic search. Nothing would be worth retrieving though.
I don't know Melbourne so I don't know where Dandenong tip was/is - can a Melbourne person help?
