Volkswagen Genuine Parts v Economy Parts

[@giannisantypas9316]

What's the point then if you get a shorter life expectancy? You will need to pay a visit to the garage more frequently, so practically this means the 'economy' parts could even prove to be more expensuve in the long term.

Giannis Antypas but not everyone would go to a workshop to put parts on, you can always buy parts and install yourself. And not only that it is a good choice if you plan to discard a car in the near future it is a very good choice.

Fine idea to bring out a cheaper range for older vehicles. I for one am not impressed by the lack of quality in aftermarket parts. Great to see genuine parts are now more affordable

You do realize VW doesn't have a braking manufacturing facility. The genuine VW parts in Europe are made by ATE.

@@juandef4115 No car manufacturer makes their own parts like brakes. My point is a lot of aftermarket parts are rubbish. OEM suppliers generally are good quality
