Trying to source parts for a customer, looks like no one else in town wants to service Rialtas. Customer wants all new cooling system components, found t-stat housing etc from ECS in aluminum, good right? found a URO lower hose there as well, just need the upper radiator hose, can't seem to find one, any ideas? 2003 AXK vr6 from what I've deduced. All in the name of preventative maintenance

[quote="mar-tay1"]Trying to source parts for a customer, looks like no one else in town wants to service Rialtas. /quote]

I've been sourcing parts for a 1995 EVC, and here's where I've found parts:

https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/us/
Jim ellis vw/audi
Numerous ebay sellers, usually in Latvia, Estonia, or Lithuania.
Rock auto
FCP Euro for a few things.
Europarts-sd

Ordering parts from heritage was fine, they came in a week or so. The ebay sellers from Latvia and Lithuania are fine, but the shipping is very slow, like 3 weeks or so.

For looking up part numbers try 7zap. You can often find superceded numbers by taking the number you get off the part or from 7zap, and googling it or punching it into the search on jim ellis' web site.

Hope this is helpful.

Should also consider metal "crack pipe", and metal water pump.

If you put anything URO rubber on a customer car you deserve to go to Hades , no matter what the price.

Google it.

found upper radiator hoses on "parts geek". they list two different ones, I assume one is for auto trans and the other manual, not mentioned in the listing.
