    hi art

    the previous wiring errors, at least on the ones i have installed, appears to be resolved.

      Good to hear. I've had no problem at all in making the decision to correct those minor defects I've found to avoid paying 2-3x the price for one from VDO. I really would not be surprised at all to find they are all made at the same shop but VDO adds their stamp after doing (hopefully) a bit of incoming inspection.

      On the other hand, I fully understand why there's a need for the more expensive QA'd version by an indy Volvo shop where the cost is passed along to the customer, and the business of part-swapping can proceed without the delay caused by inspecting "new" parts. The only long-term quality issue I can guess at is the longevity of the electrical wiring feedthrough. That could be affected by plating and process differences, but only after years of exposure - I hope.

      He often broke into song because he couldn't find the key.

        there are some folks who never feel secure unless they pay full retail buying a brand name. its human nature and a great deal of effective mind imprinted advertising done at a young age on TV carried over into adulthood.

        its what makes a horse race.

        i like value, my sister calls it being cheap. lol

        even within small family every one gets to play their own role.

      Comes with complete instructions it looks like and connectors as well. But Swedish car parts are of what quality?

        like i said i have used them with no issues.
        the job if you have done it once you know is really quite simple.

        the only remotely hard part is removing the old ring which is easier crushed inward than rotated off. the rest of the job is straightforward.
