“Unfortunately the two parts now that you have sent me were both faulty and had to be specially up graded by a Vw specialist Terrys beetles. The water squirt yet again was permanently on. A different valve had to be put on . The parts are poorly made.”

Hi Sarah Sorry you were disappointed with your part. I will feed that back to the technical and quality manager to review the item.

“Once upon a time, Heritage was my go-to for anything Beetle or Bay. Not any more! As usual, Heritage have provided me with exactly the parts I ordered, rather than what I needed. Two indicator units, which are "complete", but don't contain bulb or screws, so I ordered a pair of seals too..... which they DO come with - even though there's no mention of them, or indication in the photos. No attempt made to ask me if I really wanted two sets of course..... Also as usual, lots of parts out of stock. Not the complicated "once in a blue moon stuff" - the basic "put a van back together" stuff Sorry Heritage, you're losing my custom”

Hi Richard Sorry if we disappointed you I will share that with our tech team to review the photos and descriptions as the supplier may have changed the spec of the item. Orders are processed automatically so there would not have been any human intervention to check if you needed 2 sets of seals but we will gladly take them back for a refund please use the form here https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/returns There have been considerable supply issues in the last 2 years due to covid and breixt and these are still persisting in some cases even now.

“After several disappointments sourcing good quality original parts from 3rd party vendors, I decided to order from Heritage Parts after seeing the name frequently mentioned on a forum. I ordered online 3 items. The ordering process went smooth and within 1 week received one of the items, the most critical I was wanting, the quality seemed ok but there was no manner to tell where it was manufactured. I called Heritage to enquire about the missing parts and was told they were out of stock and would be sent on when the new stock was in, which I found a little puzzling as the parts were generic and basic and would have expected a reasonable stock to be held by a parts supplier. The lady I spoke to was friendly and polite. The parts did finally arrive about 6 weeks later, and as Heritage advertise genuine parts from the manufacturer's factory in Germany I was somewhat disappointed to see "Made in China" on the product. Not what I was expecting. Heritage has now slipped down my list of potential parts suppliers. Needless to say, I'm not very impressed.”

“Still waiting for delivery”

Helpful Report

Posted 1 year ago

Dear Martin, I can see that Eliot from our Tech team gave you a date of early July back at the beginning of June and we have not met that date. We are sorry for this delay. The good news is that I can see that the stock has arrived at our warehouse in Bremen and the part should be despatched to you later today. Thanks for your patience.

“Bought an alternator and pulley but the pulley has not matched the alternator, great joke.”

Helpful Report

Good day, Sorry you were not satisfied with the pulley. We are looking into this for you and will email you soon. Thanks.

Posted 1 year ago

Good afternoon, I have looked into your order and can see that you ordered a Type-4 1700-2000cc alternator and a Type-1 1200-1600cc pulley wheel. As you have pointed out the two items are not compatible with each other. Unfortunately at this time we don't stock a Type-4 1700-2000cc alternator pulley. If you would like to return the pulley we would be happy to refund you in full for this item, you can find the return form in the link below. https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/returns Thanks.

“Not that great really, the part I needed on your website said two were in stock so placed an order for next day delivery, it didn't arrive. Only to be told you don't have the part in stock, I got a refund and sourced the part for half price on ebay, so will look there in future as you seem very expensive.”

Hola. Disculpas por los retrasos que pretendemos suministrar según las fechas de nuestro sitio web, pero a veces las cosas salen mal.

“Wide selection of parts but customer care is seriously lacking. I received wrong part but no one is replying to my emails. Already 2 weeks passed since my 1st email. I have sent email twice. Sent FB message. Called internationally was put on hold for over 1 hr until I hung up. Tried posting on your facebook page. No one seems to care. My only option I am seeing now is to open a Paypal claim. Also I am missing two other parts since they are out of stock - I hope I do get them eventually because this lack of response is worrying.”

“The website is fine to use, payments easy. Not impressed by the fact I searched for genuine part numbers for bolt for my full nut and bolt rebuild but then received multicoloured bolts nuts and washer which just look like cheap replacement spec bolts. Complained only or be offer a better quality bolt but in silver! No silver nuts or washers. No mention on website that non genuine parts would be sent in place of genuine parts. Had to pay to return items £5. So £45 for four mix matched bolts and washers versus zinc plated bolts and washers form a fastening company for £12 inc post. I would have been happy paying the extra if they would have look right.”

Hi Darren Sorry we didn't meet your expectations. Unfortunately, not all items for older vehicles are available genuine however we do spec any alternative items such as these bolts to ensure the correct spec, size and tensile strength.
