Default Always check out FrugalMechanic.com

$165 at PartsGeek.com looks like the lowest price for the Bosch unit.<ul><li><a href="http://frugalmechanic.com/auto-part/122566-audi-bosch-w0133-1603436-fuel-pump">http://frugalmechanic.com/auto-part/122566-audi-bosch-w0133-1603436-fuel-pump</a</li></ul>

Default True but...

OEM (original equipment manufactured) and OES (original equipment supplied) many times are one and the same. OE, of course, is a more generic term that refers to the brand that came as original equipment on the car. Most auto manufacturers assemble cars from purchased components and manufacture only the sheet metal components.

Therefore, the "factory part" you can buy from your dealer was most likely made by another company, sold to the car maker and then resold to the dealer for ultimate sale to you.

An important point many people are unaware of is the fact that multiple OES brands are not only normal but are actually mandated by international standards as part of the qualifications for ISO certification. Car manufacturers must have secondary sourcing (i.e., multiple suppliers) for certain types of parts in order that any problems with one supplier will not disable the car manufacturer's production and allow for substitution of the other brand for new production and any warranty replacement or repairs.

Default Late addition.

Just had GenuineAudiParts get an OEM FP from their supplier. They did not know what brand it would be until it arrived. Was a VDO/Siemans. Just bought a Bosch from PartsGeek.com. I'm hoping that it will be a real German pump. We shall see. OEM from Audi is VDO/Siemans.
