[urq] AutohausAZ, OR where do you get parts?

[urq]

Meyle is OEM in many cases.  Do you think Audi has their own factory to make
coolant reservoirs?  I suppose the part you got doesn't have the Audi part
number ... but many times they do ...

Regarding coolant reservoirs ... I must say that the replacement plastic
parts like coolant reservoirs I've bought for my other Audis don't last a
fraction as long as the original ... and many of these parts were supplied
by Audi ...

FWIW, 034 described the coolant res they sent me as OEM, but when I
got it, Meyle was stamped on the side...I kept my OEM one just in
case.

I agree that 034 does some great stuff, but I thought it was
interesting that somebody else had the same issue with Autohaus.
