Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I'm searching for a place to buy a small piece of plastic interior trim for my passat estate parcel shelf. The part number is 3C9867899 but I can only find sites in America and they don't ship outside the USA. Does anybody know a site where I can but this that will ship to ireland?

    Thanks

    Steve

    Why don't you go to a VW dealer parts desk?

    As above. No need to reinvent the wheel here! Sometimes the old fashioned way is best! Or if you are a hermit then ring them up and get them to post it to you....

    Also, I know this is a bit pedantic and off topic but what you are looking for is an OE part not an OEM part.

    Original Equipment or OE parts are parts supplied by the car manufacturer and are branded and packaged as such.

    Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM parts as the name suggests are parts supplied by the same company that supply the OE parts to the car manufacturer. These parts will be supplied in the OEM company packaging and won't have the car manufacturers logo on them. However they are generally otherwise identical and are cheaper than the OE version. Examples would be Sachs clutches, NGK spark plugs, Lemforder suspension arms, Boge shock absorbers etc.
