    Impact of Brexit on parts?

    I was told by a well-known UK Audi parts supplier that he was having issues getting parts from some of his usual German sources because of Brexit . . . apparently, some of them don't want to ship to the UK?!

    Seems far fetched to me. Has anyone else heard anything along these lines?

    Not heard this and in case that supploer hadn't noticed, brexit isn't resolved yet!

    I'm rather tired of all the brexit nonsense now, whatever outcome happens, I fail to see why over seas trade would suddenly want to stop selling products to us. They still need to make money dont they? And why would not being part of Europe stop them selling to us? The majority of our own trade exports are to the rest of the world so it is acheivable...

    Oh good grief

      Never know what certain indivuals may think, but I can't imagine this would be a general issue. Any business is good business, be it in or out of Europe. :-)

              I’ve been experiencing this for about 6 months now. They used to go out of their way to source parts for me including cross-ordering from AT. Now they have bumped up the minimum order amount and don’t want to cross source from AT any more meaning I’m having to convince the UK Audi dealers to do it. There has been no explicit change in policy stated they have just recently become a lot less helpful.
