I have the motor on the stand and getting ready for "engine refresh" following Stephens list for his kits. Looking for recommendations for who to buy 1.8T parts from? Water pump, timing components, oil pan etc...I am in AK so all parts will have to be shipped.

Thanks!

In general for Euro parts, I really like FCP Euro (Middletown, CT). Lifetime guarantee, staffed by enthusiasts.

I’ve depended on ECS Tuning, German Auto Parts, and AutohausAZ to keep my 99 Passat 1.8T alive all these years. I’d be broke and car less without them.
