You should be able to adapt the turbo ingress kit to fit. But James will never find it if he's looking for something in the VX220NA/Z22SE section of the EPC. Part No (from a previous post, so may not be correct) is V0093183005

That'd do it Matt, nicely found, thanks.

93183005 - £17+VAT (Retail £21.25+VAT)

Hi
How much for a pair of vx turbo matts please?

Aimy

9198432 - £102+VAT (No retail price listed)

Also a little note, - I'm not 100% sure if they'll say 'Turbo' on etc, but in EPC, it's specified as Z20LET so they should be right

[Mangham54]

N/A tie rods back in stock.

Got my set but the threads are different to the original ones so need new nuts.

Apologies about that Cliffie and that's rather cheeky of them.

Only ones listed on EPC are M10 and M12 although no-one seems to want to give me a price for M12's so I'd hazard a guess that that's the problem you're experiencing?

M10 - 93178113 - £9.60+VAT each (Retail £11.35+VAT each)

Sorry, I think you misunderstood me.

The pitch of the thread is different to standard therefore the tie rods are not a direct OE swap. You should price up and supply new nuts with them on that basis.

That's really odd? Apologies for the confusion.

I genuinely never had any idea that tie rods were modified in any way (EPC shows nothing of the sort). EPC lists one part number for N/A tie rods, and it's never changed/been superseded/modified). And when any part is modified etc, the part number changes.

What's the pitch of the ones I sent you? Vs. the ones that were on your car. Is it drastically out?

And I've no complaints from others who've ordered them but if anyone has fitted some N/A tie rods that they got from me, Cliffie and I would be interested to hear your findings/experiences when fitting.

Was there ever a definitive answer to this? I am looking to replace my track control arms on my car and it really needs to be a matter of 'get parts, remove old ones, fit new ones there and then, drive car next day'

If so could you price me up a pair, including nuts and postage please.

How much for a new expansion tank (N/A 2.2 Z22SE) please? Cheers.

[PaulCP]

Could you give a price for the cap and bottom section (i believe they come as one) for the oil filter housing on an NA. Also availability

Have a look at this screenshot of EPC just to make sure.

Yep number 12 which i understand comes with number 11 so part numbers 9198199 and 9198190

I,ve been told they are special order only and no delivery date would be given, probably due to needing sufficient orders for a production run

If the price is attractive enough maybe others will buy as spares given the nightmare these parts cause

Paul

With all the trouble I had/have I would think that most of us, who wanted to replace these parts would also require part 13 as well 9198175

EDIT: to add part number.

Ok then.

9198199 - £40.06+VAT
9198190 - £30.80+VAT
9198175 - £87.40+VAT

Any chance you could ascertain delivery time on 9198199 and 9198190

I was told back in January that there was no stock in Germany and would need to be a re-manufacture order which Vauxhall would not place until they had sufficient demand. Need to verify if true since i will be desperate for these parts come September. Willing to place firm order now

It seems if you've got an early VX, and they've never been changed, you could possibly have 'old style' track rods.

The nuts aren't cheap, you'd be much better off (£40 better off) to receive the track rods, and then nip down to your local nut and bolt store and pick some out for a small amount.

I can quote for nuts anyway if you'd like. Have you got an N/A or Turbo?

[AstonVauxhall]

They're £19+VAT each.

Although, by the time you'd added delivery, it's often cheaper/about the same to buy from your local Vauxhall Dealer.

Just spoke to a chap but he was unable to access the parts system in Germany, but he did tell me that there aren't any in the UK. That didn't surprise me.

I've got to give him a tinkle later when they've fixed the link. I'll update when I know more.

I can give you prices though, every little helps!

I have a July 2002 NA, model no. 4094. As to whether that is a newer or older NA I dunno. Also it does look like they are the original items.

Postage would be to WF2 postcode.

Bad news chap. No stock of either parts in the UK or Germany. Apparently there is an 'issue with supplier' with no expected date. They're still available to order but she can't give me a date at all . Sorry.

Bad news chap. No stock of either parts in the UK or Germany. Apparently there is an 'issue with supplier' with no expected date. They're still available to order but she can't give me a date at all . Sorry.

I expected that they were on back order.

Could i have your views (if you don't mind giving them without compromising yourself) on what "issue with supplier" would mean and how would this affect the manufacturer's obligations to be able to supply parts for the required period following end of manufacture of the vehicle.

I'm curious because without these parts the car cannot be driven and the poor design in the first place is likely to many others having similar problems in the future. Fortunately i managed to source 2nd hand parts but feel the need to keep spares.

Just to make it clear i'm not having a go at you here (you're doing a great job for us ), just thinking how to approach this issue with Vauxhall

I can only assume it's either;
Pricing (the company who makes them have put up prices) .
Company who makes them, don't now, and we've got to find someone else.

I've never come across the reason 'supplier issue' before but then I don't work in Parts.

I think the rule of having to supply parts is a bit of a myth, it's all down to the individual manufacturer and I guess how much they value their customers. When flicking through VX220 bits on EPC, so many parts are no longer serviced. I can only put that down to the speciality of the VX220 vs. 'normal' Vauxhall models. This could also be a reason why it was never continued and/or a new VX220 came out, as logistically, it was very difficult and possibly it didn't take off as they'd intended/forecasted.

I was under the impression that after X years, manufactures released technical info to aftermarket suppliers. Surely it's about time now.

I can only shrug unfortunately.

I can order the parts, no problem. I'll stick it on a 'super get items here now order'.

I quote the lady "You can give me a ring in a few weeks and see what the situation is, hopefully we'll have some news".

I think if Vauxhall had no intention of being able to supply them, they'd have an 'issue with supplier' and then just say no longer serviced, live with it.

I think they are trying to sort it, it just takes a while.
