Zukgod, did you actually get to talk to anyone, or was it all by e-mail?

I talked to him through e mail although he did send me his Phone # in case I want to talk to him.

I recieved my cam plate, reseal kit and timing set Sat.
It does appear to be chinese stuff but looks to be good quality.
I'll be getting it installed soo I hope.

Dan, would you please provide me with his phone number. I bought a plastic window from him for my car ragtop, but the quality was awful and I returned it but he discontinued emails and never refunded me. My email address is: ihub-asus at usa.net.

Thank you-
Victor

Victor I attempted to e mail you this info but it bounced.

Yes I replaced the "at" with a @.

I just resent.

Please let me know the outcome.

I remember he was going overseas for a bit, maybe he is still gone?

The outcome of this is that Pete Rothenbacher did right by me and sent me the full refund. Communication was a bit tough at times, and it took nearly 45 days to get it, but with patience he comes through as a good guy.

Dan or zukgod1, would you order from this place again?  I am consider ordering the Complete Injector Pump Timing Tools with Guage and a fuel filter.  I have never seen an A2 fuel filter that cheap, almost a third of the price, I just wonder what kind of quality it is?  I normally buy WIX filters for the quality and I can get them locally.  Everything on that site is about half the price of anywhere else, but how is the quality?

I've ordered from him a few times. Quality is alright. What do you expect for the price? I would definitely order from him again.

Ya know I would.
I have a pending order right now for some replacement injector nozzles and a water-pump s well.
I bought a complete timing set from him with the belt, idler and tools as well not to long ago. Showed up in a timely fashion.

The stuff he has is ok as far as quality goes, it is a bit cheaper but seems to be fine though.
Go for it.

Read the thread then if you dont know the answer make your own decision..  :lol:

Well, I did, and saw that you had 1 completed purchase and one pending.  Someone else had 'a few' and the only other was a unsatisfactory purchase that did result in a refund.

Just going by his website, the CC stays in my pocket as nothing there instills confidence.  The 2 successful transactions here give me some hope.

I was wondering if there was anyone else here with something to add, as this looks like it could be a good source of cheap parts for all of us.

[zukgod1]

I figured ya did I was just being a smarta$$..

Anywho.

What I would recomend is dropping him an e mail or calling to make sure he has what your looking for in stock to prevent delays and go from there.
I dont think his english is extremely good though just for referance.
The e mails i get back are worded a bit strange sometimes.

Hey Pete,

Good to have ya here.

Welcome Pete.  I really like that 1.6 TDI idea.  Really nifty.

I can think of one thing that people would like to see, a manual VNT turbo controller.  A few have built some successful ones on here, but most involve a complicated system of cables, springs and linkage.  A plug & play VNT controller for those using VNT turbos on non-computer controlled engines would sell like wildfire.  

Again, welcome and I'll be following that 1.6 TDI experiment.

Hey Pete,

Good to have ya hear.


dan

Man no one corrected me...   "Good to have ya here"

[blkboostedtruck]

I would be intersted in finding some guinea pigs for my projects.  I can supply the parts, if someone wants to test them.  I'll post my ideas when I get the parts.[/quote]
 
hi Prothe,
I sent you an E-mail through your company e-mail a day or two ago? i did not know you had posted here? i'd be willing to test something for you in my caddy like your 1.6TDI motor or if it's a kit i can put it in one of my engines? however you want to work it let me know? you can give me a call so we can touch base on your projects! in that E-mail i sent to you i was also looking for injector shims so i can do some poptesting of injectors. i'm looking for a small starter set if possible? if you need my # i can PM it to you! I live in milwaukee wisconsin
thanks Duane
