Default Specialsts/Audi Breakers

Considering we all share the bizarre interest of maintaining and running old cars, which sometimes can be hard to find parts for. I thought it would be a good idea to start a list of good contacts. For example Audi specialist mechanics and Audi specific breakers. I'll add a couple in a moment.

Coxy, if we can work out how to do it () we should make this one a sticky.

OK.

Starting in the South West (Cos that's where I be frorrm!!)

www.allaudi.co.uk

All Audi in Bristol. - A lot of modern stuff but do also have some late 80s/90s spares quite often.

www.audi4u.org

Audi4U - Down in Bridgewater, Somerset. Very helpful chaps. Do carry parts for 80s spec cars. Not much older stuff but have a good knowledge of their subject and interchangeabilty (word?)

www.vwaudibreakers.co.uk

Based in Melksham (Wiltshire). Lots of experience - again they are specifically looking at 1980s onwards but will be able to provide advice on what should fit where.

Hi, Just a note on VW/Audi breakers in Melksham: last time I went there about 5 years ago - they said no appetite for breaking or keeping any Ser 2 (81) Audi 80 bits - all they had was a headlight, which I took for £15. They may have changed their tune - good if they have, but likely only B3 onward - with some interchangeable bits of course. Cheers.

www.sanburn.co.uk They are just off the M6 Jct 3, follow the A444 to the Recoh Arena and they are right opposite.

More so Audi Specialist but also VW (obviously). He even had an old V8 engine gearbox, a couple of ABY engines and gearboxes and some other pretty rare and potent stuff!

Going there today for a propshaft centre mount, hopefully it won't be too expensive!

Phil

if you want genuine parts, cheaper than main dealer (and cheaper than VAGPArts.com sometimes), check out VeeW Services in Bristol.

Also do service parts (filters, pads, oil etc) cheaper than GSF!!!

Brilliant service too.

Are these the same people who trade as Audipartz on ebay? they're listed as Hannington, Wiltshire..
They initially were brilliant, then really really really let me down and refuse to answer emails..

Just checked, they're not the same people...

I've only used the Melksham ones, but a few years ago thay told me they did not bother with any B2 Audi's as no call for bits - so they used to go straight to the crusher . Probably changed view now, but doubt if many come in. They're good lads, but doubt you'll find they have any old stuff. Never used the others, who are on the Wilts/Oxford border near Swindon. Cheers
