Defekte Hydrostößel | Posts 16+

Hi you two!

"So, I can be almost certain that I'm not buying inferior parts from Volkswagen, but when I buy accessories, it's often like 'buying a pig in a poke'!"

-> Take the important parts from VW and accept the expensive price, and then get the unimportant stuff as accessories. (I'm currently thinking about my new timing belts! )

See you later.
Greetings.
Thomas.

So, they don't necessarily have to be hydraulic components from eBay, but rather from companies that specialize in engine repair and refurbishment.
Can you get these at a fair price?
The quality is definitely good, and it also comes with a 2-year warranty.
Unfortunately, my engine also makes a noise for the first 7 seconds during cold starts. However, as long as nothing happens while driving, I don't really mind it.

By the way, I can recommend Conti Tec timing belts. They are about as expensive as the original ones, but they are also better. However, they can be a little more difficult to install because they are about half a tooth shorter than those from VW Audi.

It was mentioned that it doesn't necessarily have to be "i-beh," but the maintenance personnel have good tools.

And what is the role of the maintenance personnel at i-baeh?

Morosuche.com offers Diesel Hydros for €36.66, which is incredibly cheap, and my jaw dropped...

Should I really do it, or should I just let it go?

Who knows if INA makes good stoessels? They can probably make bearings .

Please share your experiences and tips.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

'I recently replaced mine and got some from Febi for about 50 Euros! The 'cheap' ones on eBay are supposedly made in China and are just as good! I was lucky enough to see a pack of eight, and I could easily scratch the surface with a screwdriver! Nothing like that happened with the Febi ones! Also, the oil channels on the inside look very primitive, almost like they were welded on! That's why I decided to go for the more expensive ones for 15 Euros!'

But maybe someone has experience with Chinese products!

Are the parts from INA manufactured in China?

I only know the INA plant in Homburg/Saar - and that is not located in China .

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

There's also an INA plant in Berlin. Among other things, they manufacture hydraulic pumps there and supply them to VW, Audi, and other manufacturers. (A friend of mine works there.) These products are subject to quality control, which is supposedly quite strict. I don't know if they undergo further selection at the vehicle manufacturer, but it's not unlikely. Since INA is an "original equipment manufacturer," the quality should also be reflected in the parts sales.

No, by 'Chinese' I mean the great special offer for 36.66 on eBay! Those are definitely not from Febi/INA.

P.S. deswegen steht bei der Auktion im Bild unten auch Beispielbild!!! Die Dinger kommen in nem Pappkästchen und sind dann so in Plastikbeutelchen eingeschweißt! Sind keine Org. ISure, here's the translation:

'NA' translates to 'yes' in English. It is a common way to respond to a question or statement that you agree with.

They are being offered by the same seller in other auctions for 60 euros! So, don't be fooled!!!

Okay, thank you Boro.

I would have definitely been left-handed.

60 EUR is still very cheap .

"@boro - so, the ones I bought for €36.66 from e**** on motorensuche.com are not packaged in cardboard boxes, but they look exactly like the example picture. The sticker also says "INA" on them. However, I bought them in November and haven't installed them yet."
I can't imagine that motorensuche.com sells plagiarized content.
Product piracy is not a minor offense and is likely to quickly bring the public prosecutor's office into the matter.

Guess what's written on my tension/guide roller that crumbled after 50,000 km .
It came with the Conti kit. Since a workshop was also involved, I wouldn't rule out that there was only one Conti kit box, which was then filled with Krusch products and a Conti belt. It's a real mess; I honestly don't know where to buy these parts anymore, as various VAG dealers also have 109 relays on their shelves, which should actually be scrapped.
Sad, sad... It seems the problem is simply the discarded junk that people think is "too good to throw away" and then ends up being sold somewhere.

At a parts store that also sells 20-liter metal canisters, there was an incident where an angry customer demonstrated over the counter how leaky the newly purchased canister was, causing it to flood the trunk of his car because the salesperson wouldn't offer him another (slightly more expensive but leak-proof) canister (all of the canisters of that type were defective, and the one he bought was now only half full of gasoline, which would probably have been enough for the store). At least in that case, the guys there had to deal with a very messy situation. } Since then, customers are served particularly attentively at that store.
