Turbodiesel/Valve Exhaust Cross Box

Post by **mat_fenwick** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:22 pm

Has anybody got a spare of one of these in reasonable condition please? It's not for me but for Kitch, who is without internet access at the moment. He's been told they are now unavailable, and my local factors has tried his suppliers to be told the same thing.

Yep Ive got one you can have but you would need to collect it!

This is all most odd!
The local GSF have them, SDL have them, and A&R have them, all on the shelf.

Very very odd.

Thanking Mat kindly for that.

Tim, would you be able to post it if I sent you the appropriate dollar? It's a last resort, theres sweet F/A around here!

I also need ANOTHER set of seat belt buckles as BAH has cained another pair. Something is up, thats three in half a year that keep jamming. I've got another belt to fit now too just incase that's causing them to fail in some twisted freaky way.

Yes mate can do, just thinking when Im next heading south, may try and get it part way to you.

Am heading over to my storage place Monday so will pick it up and price up the courier.

Before you do that Tim I might have found a new one locally. If there is a new one around then you might as well keep yours as a spare.
Sorry for not replying to your offer sooner.

Erm, give BOSAL a ring.
Ask for #08395.
Got a new delivered last Sat for Mat's car (er, another Mat, not Mat, er, the Mat on here that is) for £33.27p.

Here's the kicker though, a Bosal van arrives, and the bloke removes....a Walker cross box!

Go figure.
Either way, Bosal do still have some stock of these.
At the moment.

You can order direct from Bosal?? Or I suppose I could order through my company?

Are these different from an 8v GTi one?

GTi 8v 16v and TD are all the same?

Well yeah!
Always best to go straight to the horse so to speak!

Yes, GTi, 16valve and TD have the same intermediate pipe and cross box.

Cool what number did you ring mate? I can't find that number listed in any of my catalogues here so I'll try quoting them direct.

The main 'Walker' customer service telephone number who could probably tell you where the nearest supplier is to where you live is :- 0121 609 3000
If your struggling to find the catalogue number (8395) its CN151V in a 'Timax' brand as some exhaust suppliers tend to use Timax no's more as an after market reference (around here anyway).
If you need the Bosal part number its '135-531' or if you want the link to their catalogue to check/look via this link:-

http://www.catalogue.bosal.com/pages/ex ... n&model=bx

BTW I checked at a motor factors (in Derby) for price/availability and it was 2 to 3 working days to supply one @ £34 (incl, of VAT).

Excellent. This sort of information posted makes a real difference. (That's not to say I hope my 'new' secondhand crossbox doesn't last for years!

)
