De-Wipering grommets

[Ste]

Ordered the parts last week, went today to collect as they hadn't rang me...


they had two of the parts but the main washer they dont sell anymore!!!!!!!!


Anyone got any info on this because im stumped!!! Ill have to halfux bodge it!!!

[Payney]

Bodge. :(

[Scattle]

Unless a local scrappy would have one, but that will be very hard to find probably.

[Ste]

well peevd off.....was looking forward to it being done!!!!


Ive got two options...

A: Get the other 2 parts i ordered and then bodge with a halfords grommet

B: go to other pug dealers to see if they have any in stock.

[David]

My dealer said that no pug garages have that part, as they're stopping/stopped production....

[Scattle]

If you want it looking decent go round the pug dealers, but might be a wasted trip.

[Ste]

Pretty pissed off that they told me they'd order it in for me and made me wait....

Dickheads. Ill report back later with halfords findings lol

could always put a thin layer of liquid gasket on the plug, leave to dry then put it on, failing that just have a look in some diy shops, plumbing section for some rubber washers mate

[vipergfx]

Yeah the part was discontinued.

[Ste]

Lovely....

they are meant to make parts for cars 10 years after the car is finished production, they will still have the machine/mould to do them but will do them in batches if you catch my drift

[JoeFurio]

not that long since i did mine, glad i did now :)

some manufacturers don't even do 10 years.

well there supposed to, its in the rules lol

did predator make these rules up or are you telling the truth ;)

should have a vw; they still do parts for mk1 golfs iirc

[Predator_R32]

no im telling the truth honestly, its one thing ive learnt in the car industry, they must do the parts for 10 years or it may be to last 10 years, but nobody knows how many there gonna need for the next ten years, they will have all the moulds and that for it but just have to get round to it as its a lengthy process changing over a mould

[furio_beno]

just sold my 3 part grommet : )

cant believe they stopped making them

[BenSilverSaxo]

Its seven years now, but i can confirm that they have stopped making them, weird because peugeot sold 146 last month. There will be another part that has replaced them but i am still trying to find out what it is. Some places may still have stock but i doubt it.
