ABS Pump Update #3...fark!

OCDboy · 04-27-2007, 12:29 PM

Ran out to pick up my replacement ABS pump. Parts friend brings me the unopened, but highly taped up box. He wants me to open it so I know how it arrived from the parts depot. Obviously he was a little worried (so was I) as the box had been previously opened and taped.

So, we open the box and find shredded packing and the pump loose in the box. I notice a nice dent in the aluminum housing in the corner.

He half-heartedly tried to convince me it was fine even pulling the plugs to prove it had never been connected. I politely declined and told him to get a replacement as I'm not paying $800 for a part that looked remotely damaged.

Sigh...another few days of waiting...

But I should look on the bright side...here's what's waiting for me tonight...tranny swap on the G60 Corrado! Weeeeeee...

Don't worry...I'll have supervision...

G60 with about 105k on the clock. Will be going in for a fresh paint job soon.

Car came out of Texas so it has zero underbelly rust. Really clean car...and man does it handle great!

I love the aero kit on your car. I keep telling him not to do that as the car is still 100% stock. But they look so bad-a$$ with the body kits.

Unfortunately, I needed the money for the A4 at the time, and my aging 80q was not getting it done.
