Ordering parts from part number

[jammycupra]

I am after part no - 1M0121283A to get my car sorted to finish it all off but Seat say it is on backorder and cant give me a date. Is there anywhere else online I can order this part?

first of what is it? its a 1M part so its Mk1 leon, have you tryed your local TPS they deal with all VAG parts

Air Guide for the front Rad surround

Pretty much looks a specific Leon/toledo part only sorry - and technicaly speaking a non-essential VOR part so date wise and backorder wise wouldn't be considered a priority sadly

appreciate it's a priority to you of course but the system will tend to prioritise towards mechanical/warranty/off road parts as a primary concern but one of the down sides to being a relatively new marque that has grown so fast in a short time

going on from what arosaracer suggested as most local dealers no longer facilitate trade parts business only retail and internal to reduce costs VAG have been creating county area trade parts specialists to cover the motor trade for all marques in a wider area, more specialised and it works well from a trade point of view.

tap ya postcode in the bottom right corner for your local one and call em with the part number, they may be able to give you a better delvery date or eeven if you ask em nicely be able to tell if any other branch has one in stock

or even try a post in the dealers section of the forum, there's some good people out there who could probably help

You could try Audi, VW and Skoda and see if they can order that number, don't tell them what its for initially just ask them for a price on the part then ask if they can order it.

It does only fit leon's and toledo's though so they might not be able to

Thanks for your help guys, will give TPS a ring tomorrow morning.

As for the part would it be harmful to the car in anyway if I drove the car without it and fitted it once Seat got it in stock?

item #3 - simply helps guide air through the rad and wouldn't have any detrimental affect no so don't panic
only issue you might have is getting in there through the grille to fit it later might be easier from underneath

Rang TPS today and they were brilliant - sourced the part in one of there stores and said it can be with me tomorrow.

Phoned the garage where it is getting fixed and said to them I sourced the part myself and will drop it over to get the job done, and suddenly the part they ordered had turned up this morning, even though it has apparently been on back order..

Coincidence? Seems strange to me but oh well, cupra will be back soon !
