Parts supplied from our European supplier
A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.
Collection from Arlesey
Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.
International
3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is this shim used for?
A: This shim is used to set the correct differential bearing preload and end-float during 0B4 gearbox assembly or rebuild. The correct shim thickness is determined by measurement during the build.
Q: Do I need a specific thickness or a selection kit?
A: During a rebuild you may need to measure the end-float and select the appropriate shim(s). We stock multiple thicknesses — contact us if you need a selection pack.
Q: Is the 0B4 gearbox the same as the 02A?
A: The 0B4 is a VW 4-motion / all-wheel drive variant of the 02A family. Shim part numbers differ, so always verify using your gearbox code.
Q: How many shims are typically needed per build?
A: Differential shimming on the 0B4 typically requires shims on both the ring gear and pinion sides. The exact quantity and thickness depends on measurement during assembly.
Q: I'm unsure if this fits my gearbox — what should I do?
A: Send us your gearbox code or VIN and we'll confirm the correct shim specification.
