Morning Borys
Your best call - our sponsors
eBay store - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/the-audi-parts-store
or give them a call.
I'm pretty sure most parts come with some sort of warranty

Good morning,
Already did check them-quite expensive.They asking 500£ for used strut vs 399 remanufactured on eBay vs 439£ new strut from Germany
Was hoping someone have one laying in a garage :-)

Yeah, they are expensive. Call A8parts anyway and see what deal they can do for you outside eBay, it's always worth trying mate

New ones are £700 a pair shipped from China.
The VW Phaeton was/is especially popular there and so these parts are an every day part there. It's probably the route I'd try.

Score then mate
So basically same principles when it comes to buying refurbed pumps, difes and other reconditionable components.
You can get one for 250 as reconditioned unit but I would pay that 149 quid for a pice of mind backed by good 2 year warranty..
How much is the fitting by the way??
Good deal
