I am concerned that when I walk in a VW Parts counter and tell what I have
he will throw up his hands and say we do not stock those parts has not on
our computer. Normally they throw model and go to that part of VW. What will
they do with an overseas VW????? Yes I agree the same but will computer know
it. than how to do a scan on these. Most scans go by vin number
So how will that work
Charles
