“Given a choice I wouldn’t use Heritage, no one has a clue on Aircooled stuff, you can’t speak to anyone on the phone and you seem to have cornered the market on parts which are usually out of stock or poor quality.”

Hi Lee Sorry to hear of your disappointment, we are always striving to find more suppliers on the air cooled side of the business. I'm sure you can appreciate that suppliers and manufacturers of these parts are fast becoming few and far between, but rest assured we are constantly working on finding more suppliers so we can keep stock levels up. Our tech team are always happy to help and we have several air cooled enthusiasts ready to help you with any questions in business hours Monday to Friday.

“Products delivered correctly. Unfortunately, there was no communication about when the delivery would be made and subsequent enquiries were answered after the delivery had been made. Technical support is also very poor with questions going unanswered. For classic VW products, choice of suppliers is very limited so you have to accept that poor customer service will be part of dealing with Heritage Parts”

Hi Andrew Thank you for your feedback, as part of our ongoing quest to improve our customer coms and customer journey I have looked into this for you. I cannot see any emails regarding any technical questions regarding the order and you enquired as to a delivery estimate on the day that delivery occurred which we answered after following up with the courier. Your order was delivered in the standard delivery timeframe. Please do feedback with the issues you've encountered as to technical questions via help@heritagepartscentre.com, as I said I cannot see any email traffic under this email address but there may be some emails for me to review and help resolve if you used a different email account for these questions?

Hi Chris Sorry about this issue. I can see the last email from you was asking if the Rear Quarter Corner Repair panel would fit your vehicle back in 2021, but no questions since about a thermostat. Please get in contact with us via help@heritagepartscentre.com if you need any further advice.

“As an old customer, I wasn't impressed with your shop being closed, I'm not a fan of click and collect. And even less pleased with the £9 postage to send the ignition leads 17 miles to lewes! Otherwise the part was what I needed and was reasonably priced.”

Hi Sam Sorry to hear this. I am also sorry that our shop outlet has closed, after lockdown we were simply not having enough customers needing a retail outlet to justify it. Retail habits changed massively after covid and we had to make a hard decision to stop providing the service due to customer feedback and a change in shopping habits. Postal/courier costs are also under constant review, but as you are fairly local it might be worth you selecting click and collect on your next order, this service is still functioning.

Hi Timothy Sorry to hear this. However, I cannot find any email traffic using the order number provided nor this email address. So we might be able to investigate further, might you have used a different email address to ask our experts about your part? Please contact us to reply via help@heritagepartscentre.com

“Leider ist die Verarbeitung nicht so akkurat wie ich mir das für den Preis vorgestellt habe. Die Ausschnitte für das Gaspedal sind 2 cm zu weit links. Die Formung auf der linken Seite am fussraum ist krumm und schief.”

“the accelerator cables for a VW camper are like coat hanger wires, I would expect them to shrink and expand in the heat and would not recommend them. I would expect the correct cable to be twisted core - but who knows - I might be wrong - in the bin.”

Hi Andy I am sorry about this, I can see that we emailed you in February to say the part was out of stock and the delivery date was April, where we also gave you the option to cancel it then for a refund.

“Bought an alternator kit for my vw. the alternator from Bosch is OK, but the bracket that comes with wath not straight, as when you put the alternator on it, you have 2mm differences of height from one side of the alternator shaft to the other !!! So if you put the bracket and the alternator as is on the engine, your belt will not be straight !!! I had to machine the bracket, and put some 2,5mm spacer to get the correct height for the alternator shaft, after putting it horizontally!!”
