I liked seeing those headgaskets too. Would be better yet if they offered the even harder to find MLS versions. Looks like they carry all three sizes but all are composition type.

Good to see that they carry both types of water pump that are usable on the D24/T, the original style:

and the hard to find in US, bolt on upgrade Eurovan AAB 2.4L 5cyl style that has the same housing and impeller but with a pulley with two fewer teeth for slightly faster rotation:

Both appearing to be good quality examples having cast metal impellers, not the stamped steel type that has been suspected to give reduced performance, or the plastic impellers that can fail.

I also like the injection pump triangle socket set they have, the smaller for the quantity adjuster on a TDI electronic pump and the larger for the governor lever side pivot bolts on the mechanical pump. I have a homemade version of the larger type that does not work very well, thinking about buying these as a much nicer upgrade.
