PRODUCTS
A product that is available can instantly be added to the shopping basket (both in the search results and on the product detail page). If this is not possible, the item is not available. NOS products may not be available for a longer period of time. Some of our suppliers are located in non-EU countries such as the United Kingdom or the United States of America and therefore have longer delivery times.
If you want to be informed when the product is available again, you can be notified by e-mail. To do this, simply click on the green field "Notify me when available" and enter your e-mail address and name and agree to our privacy policy. Then click on the green "Notify me when available" field and confirm your request. If you are already registered, this data has already been entered automatically and you only need to agree to the privacy policy and confirm the wish to be notified. You will then be asked for confirmation again by e-mail.
Our articles are generally designed to provide a good overview of the function, the model and year of manufacture as well as the dimensions.
If you are still not sure or have any other questions, you can still send us an e-mail at Info@BUS-ok.de or contact us by telephone on weekdays from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 on 02154 8877373. It is also possible to visit us in person. In this case, please pre-order, as this will shorten your waiting time. Please also note that the processing of an e-mail will take a certain amount of time depending on the question(s).
The paint on the sheet metal in the photos is primarily used as transport protection and is not a sufficient replacement. It should be replaced by a solid primer and then painted.
Manufacturers and suppliers often deliver our sheets uncoated and lightly oiled. This can lead to slight rust film. However, this can be easily removed during installation and does not indicate a defect. This also applies to minor scratches or dents in the paintwork, which is why these are not accepted as valid reasons for reclamation.
Some of the panels in our shop are simple repair panels or reproduction panels and it is not uncommon for the panel to require adjustment work. Please always adapt the sheet metal to the bus before painting.
NOS refers to New-Old-Stock and are original VW spare parts that have not yet been installed. These can be old parts from Volkswagen or VW original equipment manufacturers. Some NOS products are still packaged in plastic bags or parcels, while others have no packaging and are not part of the article unless it is specified in the description. It is therefore possible that these parts have storage marks from long storage and transport. As previously mentioned, NOS parts often do not have a large stock.
According to the Waste Oil Ordinance, we are obliged as a dealer of oil products to take back the following used oils free of charge. Engine oils, transmission oils, oil filters and oily waste regularly produced during oil changes. You can return the used oil to us in the quantity corresponding to the quantity purchased from us. The collection point is our shop. You can return the oil to us at any time during our opening hours. Alternatively, you can also send us the used oil if you cover the shipping costs. Please note that special transport conditions may apply to used oil. As a dealer, we will then dispose of the used oil professionally and in accordance with the respective regulations.
Some products are offered as exchange products and therefore require a deposit, which is listed in the price. If you send us your old part in a restorable condition, the deposit will be refunded to you based on the condition of the part.

In this case, we will dispatch your order with the remaining part of the order incomplete and send you the missing product when it is available again.
