What BULLSHIT!!! Parts available only by region!!!! Your parts manager must be one lazy SOB!!! ALL VW parts departments are on line to the Regional Distributor network....which is in turn on line to the National Distributor network. Yep, it takes that lazy SOB a little work like typing in a part number and getting an immediate reply that there is nothing in the local inventory...then a slightly delayed reply that a part is/is not available in the Region....and yes, if he puts in a national search, he may not get results until the next day... But "regional parts shortages" is bullshit. My parts manager has found me parts for the '56 ferchrissake...he took the time to do the search. I guess your parts manager's world ends in his little cubbyhole. Ric
