Bolk car parts?

PukkaStukka

I've been looking on Mister-auto.ie for a part for my wife's car -a sump to be exact - and the only one listed for her car is made by Bolk. They seem to be the cheapest part manufacturer they supply and I'm always cautious about by the cheapest. Anyone any experience of their parts, good or bad? As the sump isn't a moving part, I might be tempted to take a chance.

They are pretty cheap and cheerful.....from experience:).
However, something like a Sump (with no moving parts whatsoever) should be ok.
Delivery can take a few days as well, I think they mostly ship from France.

Anyone have any additional experience of Bolk parts? Are they any good?

as said they are a bargain part . so dont expect much from them . they will physically fit (most of the time part number mix ups can happen) but on moving / wearing parts they will wear out a LOT faster . they often work out more expensive in the long run . id only use them if i was tight on cash or i was planning on changing the car . they will do the job fine though

No experience myself but they have a very nicely priced active carbon pollen filter, so would also like to hear any good or bad experiences :-)
