As per the title, does anyone know where I can get hold of a new rear inner CV gaitor from in a hurry please?
It is the nearside but I think the offside is identical.

I can find loads of places in the States that sell them (and the mrs is there now but she is not back until Wednesday) but was hoping to get one a bit sooner as my car is off the road at the moment awaiting a new gaitor.

Audi said 1-5 days so I might not get it until next friday!!

Hard to believe I can't find one in the UK sooner!

This is the link to ECS tunings website for a photo of what it looks like:

Id question why Audi cant get one in less than 5 days!
Its potentially a consumable part and even if it wasnt on the shelf in the uk central warehouse, they would be able to get one overnight from their continental warehouses.

Anyway, give this guy a mail or a call -

I know its ebay, but looks slightly less <beep> than a 'universal' repair boot....

Try pweuroparts in Cradley heath, West Midlands Mike. Thinks it's a guy called Mike who works there and mention RS246, they are really helpful!

Mike have you tried Euro car parts or GSF?

If you get really stuck Mike shout - I'm in the states currently and back Tuesday AM.

I know it's a bit of topic but if you ever get stuck for a front inner cv boot I used a citroen c3 cv boot and it fitted snug and that was three months ago with no problems at all

I have now but neither of them stock it.

Thanks I called them and they had one in stock bit it was missing the metal part. In hindsight it might have been worth trying it and butchering the old and new to make a good one.

Thanks for the offer Ross I really appreciate it, but it will probably be a lot of hassle trying to get one delivered to your address in time then meeting up here when you get back.

Audi said its on back order. I guess that means they are just out of stock, or they are out in the uk at least.

TPS is usually next day

Bugger. Worth keeping them in mind if you ever need anything else, their prices are pretty good!

The Garage tried TPS in the first instance.

Yeah they were a good call. Spoke to John then Mike; both of them seemed helpful and honest.
