Keyfob recode link inside - O.W. Kenobi 2005-12-05 08:56:58 (755 views)

I have the same DTC. Maybe I'll take a look some day when I'm really bored ;-) - SpfldS4 2004-11-16 06:55:03 (485 views)

If your pump still works, maybe take it apart now to see whether it's close to failure. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-11-16 07:21:49 (605 views)

Looks like the TurboLady got lost and hit your lock pump instead. :) - WindyCityS4 2004-11-16 04:57:15 (487 views)

:-) Maybe it's her sister, the Pump Lady... - O.W. Kenobi 2004-11-16 06:52:27 (423 views)

Pump Lady? - RKA 2004-11-16 08:18:33 (467 views)

Maybe put the pieces back together, take it to a plastic shop, have them machine a new piece? - BeatTheWRX 2004-11-15 22:26:38 (496 views)

I can get it 90% back together, but the center seems pretty well shattered. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-11-16 06:53:57 (485 views)

Try the junk yards? - reefer_bob 2004-11-15 22:09:21 (469 views)

What you got there is a graphite lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump. - TipSter 2004-11-15 21:39:53 (961 views)

Yep - that looks like exactly the type of mechanism we have here. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-11-16 06:22:29 (566 views)

Wow! OWK...if you end up finding the part...can you get some extras? - RKA 2004-11-16 04:31:07 (538 views)

I just emailed the U.S. rep to inquire about getting the parts. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-11-16 06:55:11 (527 views)

UPDATE - he replied saying that his company did not supply the part. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-11-18 07:08:37 (516 views)

Ask him if he knows who did. He may not tell you but he probably knows. - TipSter 2004-11-18 07:54:57 (423 views)

Are you still under warrenty? I just had mine replaced for free about 2 weeks ago. - AJN334 2004-11-15 20:25:18 (486 views)
