Any chance of some help? I need to contact Remmele regarding some parts. I have phoned the numbers listed on their website and also emailed them - I can't get any joy. I can't even leave a message on the telephone number that they give. I want to put some business their way but can't get hold of them. Thanks

That is the norm with Remmele. Years ago I tried to order complete CF fenders, hood, and suspension. Got him to answer the phone once, and he promised me that he would call back and take the order because he was busy. After about 50 non returned calls, I figure he accidentally answered the phone and never intended to call back. I wonder what he really does for a living...

He has a new e-mail and website since a couple of months. info@remmelemotorsport.com and www.remmelemotorsport.com. Dave, try e-mail and tell him Mark Spencer sent you.I know him well. Calling is useless,I rarely get a hold of him by phone either.However I see him 3 or 4 times a year.Basically his business is local (Germany,France,Belgium,Holland) and is not dependant on e-commerce and he does very well.Builds and sells more engines than most shops in the vw community,you just never see them on the internet

Thanks Mark, I will give it a go.

If you have any problems let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Just saw this post. May try to email an order for the cooler/front spoiler and see if that works. Too bad we cannot get a stocking distributor in the US.

There used to be about 10 years ago,but the guy had placed a fairly large 5 digit order and when the parts were finished and ready to ship out, he didn't have the money to pay for it.So since then no "dealers" outside of Germany.

Man, that's one very nice project. Please allow me to ask a few questions. Is the engine a Auto Craft? The extra sump, or is it, looks low clearance. I'm not trying to high jack this post, just a few questions. Since I added to my type IV case a flange, so I can add extra capacity sump. Since then I looked on the Pauter website and saw the Auto Craft bottom pick up, I just love that possibility. I will be using a Berg 3.5 capacity sump, and hopefully the Auto Craft pick up. But I note the low clearance possibility. The car being shown can go wherever, track or street. But it looks low clearance for the engine. This worries me for my project. Please allow me to show just my case so you can see what I'm talking about. Again, I am not trying to high jack this post
