Default Anyone purchased parts from...

places like aplusparts.com/sasponline.com (appear to be the same). I have to replace timing belts on both my A4 and Acura 3.5RL and they seem to have decent prices. BTW, are these parts even OEM? They beat Clair's by few dollars here and there...

Default Try germanautoparts.com

or thepartsbin.com. Both have been in business for some time now, and sell OEM parts are competitive prices.

Default I just used thepartsbin.com for my A4 90K

I started it online and then talked to Tom before I finalized the order. Very knowledgeable. Good prices and no shipping. As for OEM or not you have to ask. Some will and some won't. As I just posted for someone else go for German water pump with the complete housing. A bit more money but a no brainer for me. They did have Conitinental belts as well which I think are the best.

Default Looks like they use...

the same search engine as the places I mentioned.
Wonder if they get their parts from the same distributor... Probably so...
