best place to buy gaskets, O-rings etc. for engine rebuild

[Hmh800]

As the title says, is there a one-stop shop out there to pick up OEM or equivalent engine sealing kits?
Also hoses and electrical connectors.
Thanks

I like Europaparts. They once stashed a bunch of parts under a pallet for me so I could pick them up on my way home from the beach in the middle of the night.

Heads up that for most of the seals on this engine you are going to end up buying them separately (not really such thing as a 'head gasket kit' or the like, unless ECS or someone put their own together).

For OE parts (dealer source), I used to use AudiUSAParts.com (had very good prices and didn't charge tax), but more recently it looks like GenuineAudiParts.com has better prices.

For non-dealer stuff pretty much always FCP or ECS. Occasionally eBay.

FCP Euro, it’s the warranty.

Since they are cheap definitely buy spares they will come in handy later down road

Second these guys, or form a good relationship with your local parts department. I’ve used EP since they opened, for stuff I couldn’t quickly source on my own, as they maintain good stock levels of actual original Audi parts.

x2. If you botch a seal install, or spring a leak or a part fails, fcp no hassle lifetime warranty is pretty rad. They don't have everything unfortunately. (i.e. Mahle rings)
