looneytune Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Toyota really do take the piss with the price of this oil seal. its the seal at the back of the gearbox on a 6 speed manual TT. How can they charge £36 for a small oil seal i remember buying one for my landrover, it cost like 50p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Thats Toyota for you, very expensive parts, though to their credit, very high quality as well usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 £36 for an oil seal is ridiculous though, even for Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 If my dealer does not have the item I need then, it's on the Tue/Sat delivery unless Toyota GB do not have them in. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 The parts do usually come in within days, if not they have a warehouse in Belgium I think. If they haven't got it I guess it comes from Japan but I cant see that happening too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a percentage £36 is probably *better* than most other manufacturers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
