We're not worried in the least about parts availability in the aftermarket moving forward. There are lots and lots of these cars and engines in use worldwide, and we've been sourcing many products not distributed in the US direct from Europe for several years. I don't see any reason to become dependent on dealers for anything other than body and trim pieces, and not even some of those.That is true, what are your thoughts on parts availability for these cars? I worry a little about the low VIO. What I don't want to have to do is have a voided warranty and have to buy parts from the dealer lol, that just adds insult to injury. I am a Bosch WD and in Bosch Advantage they show the injectors and HPFP but both are out of stock. What do you think about components like the DPF, HP fuel lines, etc? I don't specialize in diesel or euro so I am sure you have much better connections that I do in that aspect.
If you're a Bosch WD then you know their supply chain is broken. Has been for some time. Don't look to Bosch as representative of parts availability. If everyone was like them we'd all be walking. (Rant over).
