SHIT!

no, really, utter and nothing but shoddy/chinese made junk.

What is you need exactly??

If you want to buy w/ Confidence on the aftermarket Gary @ BuyEuroParts.com - Wholesale European Parts - Mercedes / BMW / Volvo / Saab / Porsche and more! or Ron @ Mercedes Parts, Mercedes-Benz Parts

otherwise you're pretty much on your own when ordering from any other site!

URO links are sold in white and red boxed as OE replacemnet. we use them...

 

[jhodg5ck]

Every thing I've seen from them has been Trash..they are just a re-named Truck Tec which I wouldn't go near either.. New same, same crap

 

[darraghodonnell]

Jhodg5ck,
Thanks for the reply.

Idler arm repair kit is what I am looking for-
I looked for idler arm repair kit on one of the links you provided and it said-
''Vehicle:1999, MERCEDES, SL500,
Idler Arm Repair Kit APA/URO PARTS W0133-1617089 $135.00 $84.86''
Not trying to catch you out but it mentions under brand name as you see 'URO'.
Now I am slightly more confused...
Regards
Darragh.

talk to him, he won't let you buy if you try, he'll recommend something else via email.

Gary is his name, let him know I sent you.

Do not buy from them. I Purchased a belt tensioner from them and it failed almost immediately.

 

[darraghodonnell]

Sorry, I didn't mean to start a fight.

 

[bayhas]

its not a fight, we re all talking from experience...

I have personally used them for several suspension components, and have not had problems with them, but Jonathan is also a well experienced member in here... so when he says he had problems, I believe him...

of course not all supplier make all of their parts equally, so it boils down to what exactly are you trying to replace...

 

[darraghodonnell]

OK, so Mum and Dad are just having a discussion then - Idler arm kit is what I want and since I can get the kit made by URO for €75 delivered as opposed to mercedes €135 plus VAT I was wondering if URO might have bushings as good as originals?

Thanks Bayhas/Jonathan

 

[jhodg5ck]

did you talk to Gary, see what he can work for you??

No, the Euro bushings are no where near as good as the originals.
