Audi URQ rear o/s wheel bearing.
Unipart special : £64.95
Genuine Audi part : £23.50
Sure thats the wrong way round. Also found I have two chassis numbers, which really messed the parts system up. Never actually looked for the chassis number before as its on all the paperwork. :)

Odd, but funny when he realised what was going on. Aparently I HAVE to take it in when I collect the bearing so their parts department and engineers can check it will fit. Yeah, Right.

Thats nuts! do they think Audi have run out of stock or something??

merc stuff is the same we always check main dealer first for german stuff
had a vw polo and the front pads were £3 and factors were £20 the customer had a bill for £33 plus vat for fitting pads she was well pleased

Perhaps the Main Stealers are waking upto the fact that they are losing a lot of cash.
Its a shame Land Rover don't do the same thing as Audi and Merc.

With the bulk buying power of the manuf. it should be cheaper. All R&D has been done by them/ their suppliers to build the car, If a company wants to make pattern they have to start from scratch
Just my logic :?

You can thank the fleet buyers for this, expensive spares don't go down well with them so manufacturers slash part prices to get fleet sales.
