The VW Golf has always been a hugely popular car in Ireland and since Brexit, by far the most popular way to buy these cars, is as an imported vehicle from Japan. Since 2021 some 13,000 models which are five years old or older have been brought in from Japan, with 4431 arriving last year alone. 

With such high numbers, the Golf offers huge service and repair potential for independent garages, however, sourcing parts for these models is not always straight forward. Often Japanese models will have small specification changes from those sold new in Europe, meaning parts can be slightly different. febi is one of the few Irish suppliers to highlights this and its team in Ireland, have worked hard to ensure that its Irish online catalogue is updated to reflect these differences, including Japanese VIN number references. This can be a big time saver for technicians and ensures that these vehicles can stay on the road and run smoothly. 

febi also supplies a wide range of parts that may be difficult to source elsewhere and in some cases will not be readily available from dealers for imported models.
