Back in May, we noticed some slight oil on the air filters during the service. The dealer diagnosed it as a breather issue and ordered the following parts:
• Breather kits:
• 4G43-37-10288
• 4G43-37-10289

I was told they were on backorder, with other cars already in the queue. It’s now been a while, and still no update on delivery or ETA.

Thankfully, I’ve had no misfires or warning lights (EML) — the car runs well. But I’d like to get this sorted before anything worsens.

Has anyone else dealt with this same parts delay?
• Any luck sourcing them elsewhere?
• or who can I escalate this too, or are we all in same backlog?

Open to ideas — I just want to get the car fully sorted.

Aston Store (Nicholas Mee) are showing both parts in stock



Beats me why you'd need a new harness, though. To search I just put the part number xxx88 into Google. Scuderia shows it on back-order, but Mee appears to have both

Aha, thanks - I did try google, but did not see this.
I can see they are saying in stock, will double check with them later. My main dealer of course (car under Timeless warranty) may not want to source them from there, but this is a great stick.

Edit: Main dealer has the parts now, so maybe they all were delivered / came in stock last week!

I was chasing these parts as well and just had message back from AM parts dealer:-

"Yes, from being on back order for what seemed like forever, they are now drowning in them".
