Mk4 Golf Spare Parts

**jeddyb** · 28-02-2013, 04:30 PM

Hey there,

I regret to inform that I have had an accident. My car is a silver 2001 Golf 1.6. Just the standard GL 5sp 5door. I have third party insurance, so I'm left to my own devices as far as getting the car fixed up. I rear ended somebody and now I'm looking for some advice on how I should go about sourcing replacement parts. I will most likely do the majority of the labour with my father so I'm just looking for parts.

I'm mainly looking for non-retail parts as I don't know if I'd be able to afford parts from a dealership or something like that. So I guess that means I'm mostly looking for parts from wrecks.

As far as I know right now, the parts I need are a hood, grill, bumper, both headlights (maybe), radiator and auxiliary fan(s). I'm not positive on any other internal parts as of yet as we haven't got the hood up yet, the latch is jammed so we're probably going to have to cut it open.

The electrics work and the engine runs fine, although the power steering is gone and the coolant has leaked out from where the radiator was damaged.

I'm a little lost at the moment and don't really know where to start as far as finding all of these parts. I only really know that if I try and get new parts, I'll be looking at some extortionate prices. Last time I bought a part from a local VW dealership, it was a coolant temperature sensor and they charged me $80.

Thanks in advance.

I have a radiator from an A3 1.8T Have a look for the part number on yours that might fit.

You can have it postage and $25 if you need it.

Stick some pictures up, might help folk see what you need.

Hey there h100vw, I tried to PM you, but the site says your inbox is full.

HHere are a couple of pictures of my radiator, just to see if it looks the same.

Thanks, Jed.

Jed, I'll check those for you in the morning mate and let you know the story.

Inbox emptied too.

1J0 121 253P is my radiator.

1J0 820 411D for the condenser.

I might have to get a tape measure out for the dimensions.

I took some pictures of the pipe side but still waiting on my phone to upload them.

Thanks guys, these could be very helpful. Unfortunately I'm busy for most of the weekend, but when I get back I'll post some pictures and check the model number on the radiator.

I'll also get back to you soon Schalke.
