VW wreckers/parts?
I have another question (and probably more to follow as I'm getting my bug ready for rego...) where's a good place to get 2nd hand/cheaper parts?
Specifically I need a new wheel - I just got new tyres but they refused to put the tyre on the spare wheel as it has a rusted hole in it. So I need to
get a new one - but as you can imagine after forking out for a whole new set of tyres I'm feeling a bit poor, so don't want to order a new expensive
one if at all possible!
I'm in Coogee, and work in Botany at the moment so the nearer the better but will drive a bit if necessary.
Thank you!

Sadly there aren't nearly as many Volkswagen wreckers around now as there were 10 or 20 years ago. There certainly aren't any in Coogee; the closest
VW parts place/workshop is probably Wolfsburg Motors at St Peters - 9519 4524.
There used to be a VW workshop called 'VW Village' on Anzac Parade at Randwick, but I don't know if they are still there.
There is a new 'VW repair/service' listing at Botany, called Volk Serv (7-9 Salsbury St, 9666 4037) but I don't know anything about them - they may
be modern VW only. Worth giving them a ring though.
You can always get the VW parts you want at Vintage Veedub at Campsie - 9789 1777, or Brooky Parts at Wetherill Park (8788 8800). The place once
called Beetle Spares on Marigold St at Revesby has gone completely over to 4WD parts now. They still have a VW sign up but last time I was there they
couldn't really help me any more.
A quick look through the Yellow Pages - under 'Auto Parts Recyclers' - doesn't show many VW wreckers any more.

And obviously there's the parts section on this forum
