Great item, fast delivery and a good price. The locking nuts and key are superb and fit my T2 alloys but the ad was a little misleading as it shows caps for the security nuts and there were none. Howe... See more

EMPI ICT dual 34s ICT Carbs

Just be aware of the quality issues
of the EMPI carbs Herritage Parts provide and level of real world support of they offer, I recently purchased a kit (34ICT duals) for my rebuilt T1 1641 motor. Not only did they ship with 150 mains supposidly bolt on for 1300 to 1600cc (where a 1641cc on there website suggest 145s which are smallse so the are miss jetted), but the pump housing machining is substandard / miss drilled causing them to leak baddly, also the brass vacum pipe pickup pipe pulled out of the housing when trying to remove the vacuum to
distributor pipe (apparently its my job to push it back in??) To get any solution the only option offered is to removed and retun the entire kit leaving my car unusable. I will be avoidong EMPI products and Herritage where possible, not easy in the UK. Lesson learned - buy genuine, not chinese copies if you value your sanity. A V O I D

Hello

Hello, no, I'm disappointed because you state on your website that the belts I bought were 9.5 mm wide, and you're sending 10 mm belts. I have a 1991 Golf 1 Cabriolet, and the original belt should be 9.5 mm, not 10 mm, so yes, I'm very disappointed. Sincerely,

excellent quality, good price and delivery, website part descriptions could be better

The parts were excellent quality, good price and delivered swiftly - thank you!

The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that many of the website part descriptions are too minimal to be helpful. For example, I tried to find the O-ring that seals the TD5 rotor housing to the oil cooler - not possible on the Heritage Parts website unless you already know the part number, because there are about 20 different O-rings listed for TD5 Defenders, all of which are just described as "O-ring"; no way of knowing from the description which one is for which purpose. Other parts suppliers' websites are much more helpful in this regard.

Very good for parts that are in…

Very good for parts that are in stock/easily available. At least you are kept informed if delivery is delayed, and usually if it’s not in stock the lead time is on the page. Everything I’ve had has been good quality and delivery good too.

No rush with delivery times never met

The website states 2-3 working days, yet it takes well over that time to receive your goods. Only use if you’re happy to wait, wait and wait some more for your goods. This wasn’t a single isolated experience as I placed numerous orders with the same delay in delivery. Customer Services states it’s 3-5 working days to despatch the order. Although the website itself doesn’t mention this. No apology given from Heritage Parts.

Hi Sophie, thank you for shopping with us. I have checked our email chains and can see that your order was delivered within 4 working days and our CS team apologised to you. Whilst this is not ideal, we do offer next day and express delivery services, if you need your parts faster you can always select these services next time.

Quality Parts that fit

I always use Heritage Parts Centre for all my parts needed for my many VW restoration products. Parts needed are usually in stock and delivered within a few days. Everything I purchase just fits. They are more expensive than other places, but the products are of good quality and I’ve never had a problem. Would definitely recommend.

Shipping was a little pricey, but the package arrived 4 days after I placed the order, overseas. The box the parts came in would have withstood an elephant standing on it. Lots of care and detail to ensure the package would arrive safely.

High-value purchase let down by poor after-sales support

Purchased an SSI exhaust for approximately £3,000 which was delivered around 8 weeks late due to being out of stock.

The item remained boxed in my garage for a short period before being handed to a mechanic for installation, as the packaging appeared completely intact on delivery. There were no signs of damage to the box that would have prompted immediate inspection.

Following installation, a significant dent in the exhaust pipe was discovered. Given the condition of the packaging, this was clearly not caused during transit and must have been present prior to dispatch.

I contacted the supplier with photos and a full explanation, however the response was simply to refer to their terms and conditions, stating that any damage must be reported within 3 working days. Despite clarifying that this was not transit-related damage and requesting a review based on the evidence, no assistance was offered.

This is extremely disappointing, particularly given the value of the item. For a purchase of this level, I would expect a more reasonable and customer-focused approach rather than a strict reliance on policy without consideration of the circumstances.

Overall, a very poor after-sales experience and not what I would expect from a specialist supplier.

We are very sorry for your experience here, we would have raised this with the manufacturer as requested if the item had not already been fitted. Once an item is fitted, the manufacturer will not consider looking into the issue as the damage could have been caused in fitment.
