I've been contracted to detail Tony's car so I thought that might be a good time for us to get together.

Lemmy know!

I think the labor time is very short.

Steven suggested I bring the car by and he'd do an estimate. Then call AoA and see what they would be willing to do.

New, the part is at least $750 (Mike Staley's price) and figure about two hours labor... so I'm probably close to $1k.

I bought a used ABS pump from Dad's Recyclers for $450. It's from a 2000 S4, no ESP, with 7000 miles before going to the scrap-heap. I doubt AoA would be able to do better than that.

Besides, this way I have it finished in time for the DE the following weekend!

From what I can see... two bolts hold the pump in place, and there are two in-lines and four out-lines to remove. Then, unplug the electronic gizmo on the side (probably do that first!).

The biggest hassle will probably be bleeding the brakes. But, at least I can fill it with something good, just in time for the track!

Although Dan only used 1.0L for the flush, and I know the capacity is 1.2L, and I usually go through 1.5L to do the flush, so it sounds like he didn't do a complete flush on all 4 corners. The book labor on this was less than 2 hours I'm pretty sure. BTW, the part was $1,0xx at the dealer's normal price.

Mike Staley can get the ABS pumpfor about $750, but reatil at the dealer is right at $1k.

I like the barely used one with a 6 month warranty that I just bought for $450.

You can pick up Motul 600 at Houston Motorsports (?) motorcycle
shop (f/k/a Lyle Lovett Motorsports) on the Southwest Fwy, northbound side between W. Airport and Murphy
Road.
